Located at the historic Palo Alto Caltrain Depot, Bikestation Palo
Alto is 1,500-sq/ft-luggage room of the Palo Alto Caltrain depot
that was converted into a 96-space bicycle parking facility. The Palo
Alto Caltrain depot is a central hub for the Caltrain commuter train
line, SamTrans bus lines, Valley Transportation Authority (VTA)
bus lines, Dumbarton Express, as well as Stanford University's Marguerite
shuttle.
Caltrain has the highest number of bicycle boardings in the nation.
In fact, the high demand for bicycle storage on the train has resulted
in many riders being "bumped" from the train due to lack of space. Bikestation Palo Alto helps to address this problem by allowing
commuters to park their bicycles at the facility and retrieve them
upon departure from Caltrain to continue their commute to their
final destinations. As a result, approximately 80% of Bikestation
Palo Alto users park their bicycle overnight at the facility.
The facility is operated by Palo Alto Bicycles in cooperation with
the City of Palo Alto.
24 hour access, 7 days a week.
Membership required.
