I've seen elderly passengers being quite thankful for those.  Ditto
people with prams.

Long ago when I was young, Perth buses used to carry prams on racks on
the back of the bus.  They stopped it, I believe because of the hassle
the drivers had doing the loading and unloading as not all pram owners
could manage it.

When I was working in North Sydney I used to take the train home if I
was late home of an evening and couldn't be arsed facing the hills.

No point trying to get the bike on in peak hour though!

I expect the 'bent wouldn't fit on a bus bicycle rack anyway.
