New Low floor buses with bike racks were spotted today on the 124 and 125 buses (Center City to King of Prussia and Valley Forge) while they were layover at 13th and Market. I don't know how often you will see a bike rack on this route. 13 and Market is a good place to play "Bussian Roullette". The rules are simple. Take any bus to the end of the line and bicycle back. That is If the 124/125 doesn't show up with a rack you can always cross the street and take a NJ Transit bus, if you don't feel like going crossing the river walk downstairs and take an eastbound El to Frankford then catch the next bus with a bike rack. Speaking of NJ Transit, they have unlocked the luggage bays doors on all its cruiser buses in Central and Northern NJ and therefore once again can accept bicycles. All Luggage compartments were locked after September 11, but buses in the Southern Division were unlocked in October.
