almost daily since 1999

 

Many of us have forgotten things on public transportation. Some people leave behind important items like eyeglasses and irreplaceable documents. In Seattle, in 2007, 863 people left their bicycles on the bus. That’s over 2 people a day leaving behind a pretty significant object! This has been going on since bike racks were added to the Metro buses in 1994, Metro didn’t have enough room in their lost & found so nowadays the bikes, tagged with date and bus number, are kept in a commuter bike storage location waiting to be reunited with owners. Unclaimed bicycles are given to charity.
