Lack of bike spots on trains, parking at stations hinders commuters
NL TimesIt is often difficult for commuters to successfully travel on trains with their bikes, according to a tour by De Telegraaf. “People with bicycles are the victims of the timetable being scaled down and trains being shortened," Rover director Freek Bos told De Telegraaf. "A shorter train offers fewer bicycle spaces anyway, but the balconies are often full of travelers even outside rush hour.” The NS pointed out that full trains mean that people may not even be able to board. "Currently, the space in the train is limited, so we prefer to give priority to travelers instead of bicycles," a spokesperson told De Telegraaf. The rise of bicycles with a crate or a rack, the electric bicycle, the cargo bike and the fat bike has grown rapidly in a few years," a municipality spokesperson told De Telegraaf.
