A policy decision that others should follow
Chicagoland's Metra announced Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014 that it is revising its "Bikes on Trains" policy to replace bans during exceptionally busy periods with "warning dates," in which bicycles will be allowed but owners will be cautioned that crowded conditions could prevent Metra from accommodating an initial or return trip.
This is not ending the rush hour ban, only black-out dates when special events were expected to generate additional ridership
actually thats an excellent change - it would avoid such absurdities as me not being able to take my bike from King Street to Springfield on the blue line during the afternoon of July 4th, as once happend to me.
