What happened?
--------------
CalTrain allows bicycles, four per rack, in the bicycle car. A ticketed
passenger got on, put his bike in a rack with three bicycles and then
was ordered off the train by the conductor who told him there were
already 16 bicycles on the train and that the train was full. The
passenger refused to get off. The conductor called the police. The
passenger was arrested and hauled off to jail.
The police were none too pleased that someone was taking a video of
their actions.
What's not clear is whether their actually were 16 bicycles already on
the train. Often someone removes their bike in preparation to exit at
the next station, and there is a space for another bike, which
temporarily increases the total number of bikes past the 16 bike
capacity, but normally this does not cause any problems. It isn't known
if that happened in this case. |
