My road bike measures 39-1/2" axle to axle. That is not outlandishly
large and should fit. But it did not.

This sounds more and more like an operator problem.


If the bike doesn't go in then it doesn't go in. It's that simple.

At the first time the bus driver (himself a cyclist) came out and tried,
then scratching his head what we could do.

I'd like to see an image of the ACTUAL bus rack your road bike won't fit into. Me long wheelbase 1980's MTB fits in our bus racks without any problems at all and the wheelbase on that MTB is longer than most modern 26" wheels MTBs. I just can't imagine why you can't get even a 1980's road bike into your bus rack.

Cheers
