Caltrain is instituting a Bikes Board First procedure at all stations after what it called a successful pilot program to make boarding faster and smoother for all riders.
The new procedure allows riders with bicycles to board first onto the designated bike cars once passengers have exited. Riders without bikes are encouraged to board on non-bike cars to avoid having to wait. Caltrain ambassadors will be on site at various stations in the coming weeks during peak commute hours to facilitate implementation, according to the transit agency.
The initial pilot program began in April, 2018 on northbound platforms at three stations where boarding times often took well over one minute. During the first phase, those times were decreased to within a desirable range with some trains shaving more than a minute from their boarding times. The pilot was then expanded to three additional stations in June 2018. The Bikes Board First pilot was developed with input from the Caltrain Bicycle Advisory Committee and bicycle advocacy groups.
