BART Creates Elevator Dimension Guide for Bike Enthusiasts

As bike enthusiasts have started to organize monthly East Bay Bike Parties that start at Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations in the San Francisco Bay Area of California on the second Friday of the month, BART says it is excited to see the combinations of bikes and transit and is working on ways to make it easier to bring bikes on its system, according to Mass Transit. In addition to wider gates, bike racks, and bike stair channels, BART has created an elevator dimension guide to assist cyclists in navigating BART elevators by outlining the dimensions of each elevator in the system, including measurements of the door, width, length and diagonal space across the floor. Over the past decade, longer and heavier bicycles, such as e-bikes and cargo bikes, have grown in popularity. BART encourages riders to use their best judgment when utilizing system elevators, as individual bikes and elevators vary in size.
