I take the train to work in the mornings and ride home. Ya it does get drowded with bikes. But one thing the article failed to mention is the lack of the transit cops doing their job. Many times you will see kids with their bmx bikes just walk on, flip it over and leave it laying around and go sit someplace, or people refusing to give up a space where the folding seats are to allow bikes to fit in when there are seats elsewhere. Also, they could just modify the seating in the other half of the trainset to have fold up seats too, providing more space. The other thing the articlke failed to mention is that there are days in which it is wheelchairs and strollers, not bikes, that cause the problem. Besides, in order to obtain maximum capacity on one trainset, there will be many people standing. That is the design. The funny part about mass transit around here is that people are afraid to sit next to each other. They would rather stand and complain about having to stand rather than just go sit next to someone. This applies to both the Sprinter trains and the bus.
