I checked the schedule before I left, and it said it was 10 minute service, which I thought was reasonable. I ended up waiting about 25 minutes. How common is that? Two 200's came one right behind the other.
The bike racks are too short - My very upright hybrid has probably a shorter wheelbase than most bikes out there, and yet, I couldn't get both wheels "down" in the tray. If the back wheel was in, the front wheel was out, or vice-versa. What's with that?
My experience is around Charles terminal, the 7 is usually on schedule, but it may drift more away . 25 minutes seems unusual, but I can't say in Cambridge for sure.
As for the bus racks I think bikes aren't supposed to sit down in the rack, if I'm recalling right, the bottom loops are just a backup, it is supposed to sit on the tires at the edges and the arm holds it vertical, but I'll have a look next time I take the bus, I'd be surprised if it wasn't fitting. Interestingly the GO transit racks don't even have a vertical arm, at least not a tall one they only clamp the tire.
