A channel to the side of staircases makes it easy for bicyclists to move their bikes up onto the train platform
Today, bringing your bike through the turnstile is a small juggling act. This prototype makes it a little easy to handle your bike, your fare card, and the turnstile.
Storing your bike on the train is a bit obnoxious, both for the bicyclist and the other passengers. This design dedicates a space for bikes.A very excellent design from Chicago. All rider should love that!
But it's impossible occurs in HK this recent year.

=v= These are interesting. Where did you find them?
ReplyDeleteI don't like the third design because someone might be sitting in one of those fold-up seats. With the right capacity planning you can have a dedicated bike storage area without losing ridership; in fact it builds ridership!
I disagree that it's obnoxious to bring a bike onto a train. Passengers have to solve the "last mile problem" -- getting to and from the train stations -- and bikes do that with less impact than burdening transit systems or using cars. Systems for parking bikes are helpful, but these can be more expensive than bringing bikes onboard.
