Good point about it being in luggage. My thoughts are that the smaller bikes like the Brompton are smaller than all strollers. However, my other thought is that you will get too many variations and too many people pushing the idea of what a folder actually is and the driver would have to decide which can come on and which cannot. Once that happens typically they just say no to all.
One last thought is that out of the many riders they serve here they are unlikely to get many folders in the first place.
Am I wrong about folders not fitting on front bus racks? Would they in Portland for example? I think the tires are too small on the 16 inch bikes. I guess I can try one out at the station near work (while the bus is just sitting there).
