Get friendly with Metro
I’ve thought about taking my bike on the bus for months, but worried about being “that person” who held up the bus with her inability to understand how to get the bike on the rack. When I saw a Metro bus parked at Sawyer Point for Earth Day this year, I took the opportunity to practice loading and unloading my bike on the front of it while it was parked. It was simpler than I ever imagined. The helpful Metro staffer even practiced putting on the pressure to build my confidence. Still, simple.
Has it been a while since you’ve been on the bus? Metro is giving you a chance this Friday to get re-acquainted with the bus. This Friday (August 22) from 11:00am to 1:30pm, a Metro bus will be parked on Fountain Square.
Try the bike rack, look over the bus schedules, or practice nabbing your favorite seat!
