At least in Vancouver with Translink, I see people putting up their expensive Marinoni, Trek, Specialized etc bikes that cost a lot more than a Brompton or equally as much as a Tern Verge S11i or the Tern Verge X20. As long as you keep an eye on your bike standing at the front of the bus, then it's fine. For extra security, set the bike at its highest gear, lower your seatpost down and fold your pedals, so if the thieves decide to do a grab and dash, they would have to figure out how to unfold the pedals, raise the seat and then lower the gearing.
And they aren't gonna get pretty far with my Speed Uno since I have geared high.
