Families or Newbies who are getting into biking find it hard to bicycle till they build some confidence to go the miles. They need to explore, that is when they realize how far they can go or not? If we do not address this, after few days they will lose the interest and they will not start again.  What is the solution, on weekends we will see more cars or motor vehicles on road and less people using the buses. If we can allow bicycles in bus it can be a great solution in addressing this issue, that is like hitting two birds in one stone. That will help to reduce the cars on road and more people can bike and whenever they think they cannot bicycle any more, stop by nearest bus stop get in to the bus, as less people use the bus on weekends and there is no peak hour that day for bus.  This will encourage more people to get in to biking and reduce the traffic congestions.
