Streetsblog SF reports that this week will see a BART task force and the SFMTA board talking about bikes on trains.

The BART task force met yesterday to discuss lifting the ban on bicycles on BART trains during rush hour. The SFMTA board meets at 1 p.m. today to talk about, among other topics, possibly “allowing bike access on board light rail vehicles,” according to Streetsblog SF.

Check out the Streetsblog post for more information.

We wanna know what you think about these ideas: Is more bikes on public transit a good idea?
