Sono sconcertato da quanto sia cattivo questo design del treno a Skåne. Dopo quattro treni che ho dovuto saltare a causa di un insufficiente spazio in bici, finalmente posso parcheggiare la mia bici sulla carrozza, insieme ad altre 5 bici, tutto questo dopo più di 1 ora di attesa. Nel frattempo i sedili dietro le bici non possono nemmeno essere usati. Un bambino di 5 anni ha progettato questa carrozza del treno? Perché non rimuovere quei sedili e avere un portabici convenzionale che potrebbe adattarsi 5 volte al numero di biciclette?

Maybe the trains are designed for people and not bicycles?
I don’t think you’re meant to bring bikes on the train.
It is much better in India where you sit on top of the train with your bicycle.
Boasting of there being space for bikes on your trains, do you? How fancy one can be…
I think the stupidest design is to assume a passenger train is supposed to keep space for ten bikes.
Not the most stupid but definitely stupid. I think bikes should be easier to bring on trains, yes they are for people but sometimes people need a bike to get from the station to where they’re going.
It feels like this is a vertical bicycle ”holder” or whatever you call it. So it’s a parking space for 3 bicycles, and they shouldn’t block passenger seats. This is just a wild guess. I don’t live in Malmö
Kan vi inte få en tag för i-landsproblem? Den hade täckt de allra flesta rants så som denna.
Skånetrfiken incompetence knows no bounds.
As staff on board these trains, we all agree. We complain every year, but nothing is done about it…
Sorry but its not sustainable for everyone to commute by train with their bike. If you are commuting you should be parking your bike at the train station and getting another bike on the other side. This is how Amsterdam does it and they probably ARE the most bike people in Europe.
These spaces are really for one off travellers doing a long bike trip.
Yes it’s stupid. Now imagine if you were on one of those stations with 1 hour in between the trains or you were to catch your last train and they told you off in the middle of nowhere.
Worst thing is that parents with strollers always get a free pass to these.
If ‘space for bikes’ wasn’t an afterthought in the design here, I would be surprised.
Some of the trains in Västra Götaland has a similar design, but with no space between the seats and the bikes, so it’s really spacious.
Huh? There’s an entire car meant for those with bicycles on pågatågen? The one that is basically empty with 4 fold down chairs.
Bikes and trains in sweden don’t mesh well unfortunately. High speed trains and regional trains you just straight up can’t bring bikes which sucks. Then for local trains, you’re lucky if they have a few spots at all. And usually it feels like an afterthought, like in your picture.
I think there are two times when the space is not sufficient for bikes:
1) certain commuting hours like 15-17, usually the trains are packed as is, so no room for bikes.
2) summer when a bunch of tourists bring there bikes on to the trains.
Otherwise never been an issue for me, but I also usually walk or take the bus as that is included in the fare.
Also consider the sign, it’s not a bike carriage. It’s a carriage for big luggage, strollers and bikes. Hence the seating arrangement, if you have a stroller or luggage you might need/want to hold on to it.
just cycle to your destination!:D
I think the best solution would be to forbid people from entering the train with a bike. If you have a bike, ride it.
This shouldn’t be a problem because the commuter trains in Copenhagen (s-tog) has perfectly sensible cycle space. I don’t know why we can’t do the same thing
I actually like this better than how it is on øresundstågen.
On pågatågen we with babystrollers can fit behind the bikes and share the space, but on the øresundståg we have to fight for the space on the traincarriage that allow bikes, strollers, wheelchairs with normal stupid people without luggage.
The solution DSB did on their S-trains is how it should be done. They are wider but similar stuff could be done on these trains.
