Dallas transit agency to add bike racks to buses
10:49 PM CDT on Sunday, September 14, 2008
Don't fret – the sight of a bicycle stuck on the front of a DART bus soon won't be a bad thing.
By New Year's Eve, 650 Dallas Area Rapid Transit buses are expected to offer bicycle commuters greater convenience. The agency's new bus-mounted bike racks also represent an option for people who live or work beyond easy walking distance of a mass-transit stop.
Editor's note: DART is currently the largest Transit Agency in North America to not have bike racks on the front of their buses. However, unlike many other agencies, DART does allow bicycles on their light rail cars, buses, and commuter rail cars, even during peak hours, space allowing.
