SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) --
Caltrain wants you weigh in on the design for bike storage on its new electric trains.

The options that are on display at the Caltrain station at 4th and King streets in San Francisco are getting mixed reviews.

Quick! Some area ebikers may wish to whine about the "lack of plugins".

Great Link , LockH

As someone who has taken a bike on Busses , and Light Rail, I can say that the option of a Hybrid bike storage makes much more sense than stacking bikes together, right next to each other.
There is one bus from San Jose to Palo Alto that has the Hybrid type of bike rack and I have found it to be the best .

For all who are reading the link that LockH as posted, you do not need to be living here to Vote

Please take a minute to Vote.

STILL no word yet re how many 120V/"standard" electric outlets are to be provided?

Meanwhile, over in Europe... 62 million electric bicycles in 2030 in the EU need a home

^^ Hehe... Pubic transport. It's the same all over... That "Last Mile"... Zero available seats... Sitting next to "THAT armpit" next to you... HUGE fail versus the Bettery-Electric Bicycle. :lol:

120V 8A per outlet
A nice large loop to be able to lock up your bicycle/ebike
Free wifi
customer access to security camera viewing bike storage area
usb outlets at seats

good to go

^^ Hehe... Hi Alberta... Privy to some "insider info" (any "links")? ... or just yer "Wish List"? I only thought I might start this thread `case any Caltrain users could/might tweak Caltrain management to watts happening re their "Last Mile".

 

[markz]

Wish List of course

 

[LockH]

Watt? STILL no mention re plugins to recharge "thirsty" bike batteries?? [grumble grumble] hehe...
