Agreed that the prospect of having to leave your bicycle stranded is something to clearly avoid. I've been a long time bus rider and the general rule of thumb is use the bicycle rack or they will let you bring the bicycle on board if the rack is full and if/when it's the last route.

Do you have a smartphone and have tried uber/lyft? It's a much better on-demand service than say a cab. Also if you're riding in a remote area then I doubt a cab / on-demand service will drive that far out for you. I'm not sure where you're exactly riding though or the popularity of such services in your area. I live in a populous area so its not an issue.
