Public transport often treats bikes as a luxury—or worse a competitor—but without them leaves revenue on the table.
For 25 years, the Dutch have extended the reach of their railways through investments in (300,000) parking spaces and (25,000) shared bikes. The result? A doubling of train ridership.
