This is a BIG, serious one. many clients are no where near public transportation and I've noticed that many of them care less about what you're delivering and more about how you present it - they'd prefer a huge company that does a lot of biz and will overcharge them, make mistakes and take 2x too long, to a small firm or individual who'll do it for less, on time, on spec. They just feel there's more accountability and safety in that big company. Showing up on a bike doesn't work. Too bad.
