A folding bike would be perfect for these buses. I would really look into getting one and buy a bag so it won't look like a bicycle.
The other day, my next door neighbors drove their car to the supermarket which is just across the street or about 500 feet! The U.S. is so car cultured that people would rather drive across the street rather than walk to the market!
We have excellant public transportation with 15 buses that transverse our city including a lightrail that cost the state over a billion dollars yet families still have one or two cars!
