Why isn’t there more space for bikes on the bus bike racks?

We’ve tested racks that hold three bikes to see if we could increase bike capacity on buses, but we found that the larger racks just aren’t a safe option for us — they can block the driver’s vision as well as the bus’ headlights. The larger rack can also make it unsafe to turn in areas with narrow streets or tight clearances.

We're excited to add that all of our new electric buses have space for three bikes! That's because New Flyer buses have a smaller nose than the Gillig buses, so they don't have the same safety and sight line concerns.
