Stumbled across this bus picture from METRO A Line BRT in Minneapolis, MN 🇺🇸 in this article https://www.kimley-horn.com/news-insights/perspectives/bus-rapid-transit-design-efficient-urban-transit/

At one level “oooh easy way to carry bikes on a bus”

At another level “imagine you're a pedestrian and get hit by that, and what about the driver's line of sight”

I'm pretty sure this would not be allowed in Europe

@jon these are quite common in the United States. San Francisco being one of the early adaptors. I am not sure if these have caused accidents (or made accidents worse) but they don't really block driver sightlines. Bicycles being mostly empty space.

@bluGill @jon @PedalHoppy it is not. Honestly these bike carriers were a way to suggest municipalities were taking green transit seriously. In Boston, 1/4 of all subway lines (the Green lines) do not allow any bikes at any time and the othet 3/4 prohibit them during rush hour. So, for the 300 or so bus lines each trip allows for two bikes. Not very much but better than zero. Regrettably Boston and surrounding cities are in a terrible spot to be very forward thinking about inclusion of bikes.
