Action on bike racks on UTA FrontRunner

Action on bike racks on UTA FrontRunner

The Issue

Bike riders on FrontRunner regularly have to stand and hold their bikes because of a lack of space on the bike car.

There are three main problems:

  1. Only 9 spots for bikes, inefficient use of space
  2. Hard to get bikes in and out of back row, so some people don't bother, some even lean them in the aisles out of frustration
  3. Bikes are damaged when people lift them up and over each other

There is one car with a different design where the bikes are arranged diagonally along the wall.  It appears that there is more capacity.  It's easier to get the bikes in and out.  There is less lifting and bumping.

Let's fix the situation by installing the diagonal design in all the bike cars.  Please support this petition!
