Bicycles and scooters on transit are a geometry problem: a bicycle takes up considerably more space than a person does! But some caveats...https://twitter.com/wutrain/status/926081267787096065 …

Buses/trains are ultimately for *walkers* & expand ppls *walking* range; if u need vehicle on both ends it means urban fabric still too thin

The Dutch integrate bikes well with mainline rail; surburbs are a bit too spread out given stop spacing
-
bicycles are pretty common in Japan but I never hear about them being brought on buses or trains--people only ever use them on one end
-
bike parking facilities can get pretty huge tho
-
Oh I’m referring to bike parking for the Netherlands; I think there are a few that bring them on trains but very small compared to parking
-
Ah! Gotchu, gotchu...yes, bikes for *one end* of the trip works. Every attempt to bring them along runs into geometry issues
-
As a compromise for a place like Boston which is still not ideally walkable, you want bike parking on one end and bike share on the other...
-
...and since any stop could be origin OR destination, might as well go with both at all stops

Bike and ride is like a non-polluting park and ride. For slow buses, not much advantage of a bus over bike except weather
