Maybe the trial was not long enough? Greater Vancouver area nearly has racks on most of its buses by now..covers the suburbs as well. You can appreciate that not all buses will have a bike every hr. at this point in cycle-commuting history, since the suburbs are slower in embracing in alternative transportation options combined with transit. But there is a noticeable increase of cycle-commuting compared to 5 years ago in our city and more people combining cycling with transit travel when things get difficult or one lacks enough time. Of course, prolonged periods of steady rain is a strong powerful motivator in our part of the world.

Great that Cannebera has more bus bike racks, cyclegoddess!
