The racks are there for passengers to put their luggage there. If they don't put it there, they take up space and reduce passenger capacity. It also makes no sense to remove these racks, since the vehicles that are used on line 61 are also used on line 40 to the Bus Station, which makes these vehicles used by tourists and residents with permanent residence outside of Bratislava. In addition to the vehicles that had these racks removed, DPB removed them to increase passenger capacity in the vehicle, because these buses run on lines on which passengers occasionally carry luggage. These buses originally ran on line 61 to the airport, later they were replaced by trolleybuses.
