If the bus is operating during off-peak hours and there's adequate room, *sometimes* a driver may let a bike aboard, but usually that's not the case. Thus, bikes and busses in Houston seldom link up. There was some hope that the new MetroRail would accomodate bikes better, but the recently announced rules prohibit bikes aboard during peak hours and limit bikes aboard to two per car during off-peak, with operator discretion to decline even those. Mass transit and bikes still operate at arm's length in most of Texas. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email. Surrealism is a pectinated ranzel.
