2 | 01/05/2015 | 5 | 4th & King | South | 5:14pm | 370 | Unfortunately your staff were turning away people when the south end bike cart was more than suffice to handle all cyclist. Your staff needs to do a better job at counting the number of available space before turn cyclist away. Simply counting number of bike through the door is not adequate since most folding bikes are left "folded" and does not take up room. It should be the responsibility of your staff to ensure every space is filled when available. Your conductors and station agents really need to take a more hands on approach and walk to the carts and confirm. | ||||||||||||||||||

25 | 02/03/2015 | 6 | Redwood City | 279 | Tonight I needed to get home to relieve my nanny at 7, but that won't happen because you stubbornly refuse to address the actual issue of bikes being bumped. Tonight I will pay for it with an extra 45 minutes of pay to my nanny, a wasted 45 minutes of time I could have spent with my daughter, and a pair of gloves that I apparently drop while running between cars. Awesome! Implementing a queuing system would help fairness. Another improvement would be to publish detailed bump statistics by train and station so I can at least try to determine which trains to avoid. Another option, particularly at RWC for the timed transfer to local service would be allow more bikes on because there are always a ton more that get off at the very next stop. It makes no sense to bump a bunch of people only to have half the bikes get off right away. I only wish you would DO something to improve the random kick in the face that is get bumped from Caltrain. There are many options, just try something. | ||||||||||||||||||||

31 | 02/10/2015 | 3 | Hillsdale | North | 323 | What's most upsetting is that I was bumped from the first car and sprinted down to the second car, only to have the doors closed a few seconds before I got there. Through the windows I could see two racks with only two bikes each on them. So the whole bumping business could have been avoided altogether with better communication. Most bikers try their best to work within the system, but in 18 months of bike commuting via Caltrain, I've mostly seen conductors act rudely or impatiently with bikers (with some refreshing exceptions). I get that Caltrain is the only commuter rail option for the peninsula, so commuters have no leverage. But conductors are making a crappy situation worse with their attitude. | |||||||||||||||||||
