Rush hour trains into and out of Grand Central are packed and there is no room for bikes. Of course, it would be great if the state/MTA spent the money needed to alleviate the crowding, but I have no idea how much it would be (it's likely astronomical). It is great news, however, that bicycle tie-downs are being included in the M-8s. Maybe Metro-North could consider easing peak hour restrictions east of Stamford? Or defining the peak hour for bikes more narrowly? (I don't think trains leaving Grand Central at 4:00pm or at 7:30pm are really that crowded). In any case, it's good the issue is being discussed but I think it's important to keep demands within reason.hunternoreply@blogger.com
