Dear ACTION,
Last Friday (12 Jan 2013), I left home on my bicycle at 7:10. I reached Osbourne Dr in Macgregor and waited for the 7:27am 703 bus. It arrived bu did not have a bike rack. The next 703 bus arrived at 7:47 and also did not have a bike rack. Finally I caught a 43 bus at 7:57, then had to wait at Belconnen Interchange for a bus with a bike rack to come (that was the third one to arrive). I finally arrived at work at 9am.
It took me also 2 hours to get to work by bike and bus. Not that the buses that did not have bike racks were a SCANIA K320UB and a new Scania K360UA.
I am dismayed that ACTION is buying buses that cannot have bike racks fitted. It is already annoying enough that I have to wait for multiple bases to arrive before one finally turns up with a bike rack. Why are you compound this problem by buying buses that cannot fit bike racks?
It is already hard to convince Canberrans to get on buses, why limit their options to only being able to walk to their bus.
Regards,
Dr Justin Murray
