The S-Trains already are the envy of transportation planners around the world. I’ve ridden them dozens of times, and some cars were already dedicated to bike commuters. These new cars are put other subways in check. Brilliant idea to have them enter in one door, and exit via one way the other. So efficient.
Copenhagen is doubling the space for bikes on a number of its suburban trains to meet growth stimulated by the switch to free bike travel.
The Copenhagen S-train has also introduced one-way traffic in the new bike compartments to make it easier and faster to get on and off.
Ten S-Trains are being remodelled with the new compartments, which are in the middle of the train so that there is more space for bikes on the platform.
The train system in the Danish capital is being gradually improved for travellers with bikes as increasing numbers of passengers are combining bike and train for their commute.
