According to some (right wing) outlets, Russia would be shoving immigrants into busses, shipping them towards the border, then giving them bicycles to go the rest of the way.

Apparently people consuming such sources, don't realize that bus service is a normal thing in some countries, bicycles are more affordable than cars, many busses will carry them for you, and regular bus lines have more than enough capacity for over 200 people to travel every week.
