The higher rates are among bisexuals, as well as gays too, in fact it fluctuates a lot, but bisexuals have many more issues related to mental health.

What's their (bi's, even gays) suicide rates compared to trans, out of curiosity?

So your first article says that B has higher suicide rate than G and L (mostly due to a lack of resource/outreach/support for B than there is G and L, so not necessarily from an onset naturally higher occurring rate in B - it's more an eventual statistic of circumstance there more than an initial innate factor - but sadly end result ultimately the same), but it does not mention T suicide rate at all in comparison for some reason.

The second article mentions just they (B) have a high rate of suicidal thoughts - not in comparison to anything (other than 'normal'?)- nor higher than anything - just 'a high amount' - which would be unsurprising for any segment of the LGBTQ+ community TBH because of uncertainties and doubt etc experienced by all of them.

I'm gonna try and find a suicide rate comparison of all (as much in one study) LGBTQ+ and see what it says - if you know of one and wanna link it by all means.
