I drive a bus for a living. Here's what I have to say to any bikers:


-Make sure that its on there! If the rack is used properly, your bike wont fall off the rack.

-Don't leave anything on the bike that can fall off (helmets, bags, etc.)

-Keep an eye on your bike AT ALL TIMES!!! I've stopped a guy thinking of taking a bike off my rack! I gave him the evil eye

-If the rack is full, I can't let you on the bus holding ur bike, sorry. Its a safety thing. Your bike could become a projectile coming down the aisle in the event of a crash, hitting everyone in the way until i stop it with my back! No thanks.

-When its your stop, it's a GREAT IDEA to remind me to give you more time/space to get your bike. I may be tired and might not remember who owns it! I might just pull away with it. Just say, "I'm gonna get my bike, thanks"

-Please, please, PLEASE put the rack back up. If you don't, i have to do it. If I don't notice it, i may hit something with it. Plus its a dick move not to.


THanks and ride safe!
