People who took train with their bicycle need to buy a ticket for their bike, and there are dedicated cart for them. However, if there's need for bicycle tickets, similar apply to pram and other sizeable objects :)<BR/><BR/>Combination of restricted time and carts would be nice, i.e. only certain labeled carts are for folding bike during peak hours.<BR/><BR/>Those involve need a study trip to the Nethelands, London, Berlin and similar places where bicycles are quite popularly being used.Back2Naturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854001777738610998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999911.post-39532205257686517722008-05-10T00:20:00.000+08:002008-05-10T00:20:00.000+08:00Prams take up more space than folding bikes.

I think we're still quite far from the day when the number of MRT riders with folding bikes exceeds the number that currently ride with prams or large pieces of luggage, so such worries are premature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999911.post-86163282594558411422008-05-07T19:40:00.000+08:002008-05-07T19:40:00.000+08:00For those who live in the heartlands, what's neede...For those who live in the heartlands, what's needed are proper bicycle parking facilities at the MRT stations. Instead of taking feeder buses or driverless railcars, they ride a bike to the MRT station to get to work elsewhere in Singapore, leaving the bike chained to a fence, railing or a poor apology for a bike-park rack, hopefully still there in the evening when they return from work and need it to go home. There's been many promises to build proper bike-parking facilities, but they are so far just promises. Sad.keeyanhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14627427335680871411noreply@blogger.com
