Yay, the use of bus bike racks in Canterbury will now be available full-time (day and night) from Mon 12th May!

Can anybody tell me what the new, central lights on bike racks are for? At present they are only on during the day – when it’s light anyway.

In reply to Criggie. I noticed today on my trip home that there was a spotlight bar that had been put on the front of the bike rack. It turned on when the rack was down somewhere along the way home, and off when I put it back up. I think that's going to be what they install on the bike racks with the headlight issue. Probably mostly paperwork that caused this to take so long though, and probably mostly on the NZTA side.

In reply to Cyclomaniac. Very pleased to have the security blanket of being able to put my bike back on buses (usually because of weather turning foul, or bike or health issue). But I agree that the time taken was overly long and still want night-time restrictions lifted ASAP (please).

Did anything actually get changed ? I can’t tell what if anything has been altered on the busses.

Or was it just paperwork all along ?

Yes I am happy but outraged that it has taken this long. Hope all restrictions are lifted soon.
