[publictransport] acceptable restrictions

[Brianna Laugher]

Hi,

I have been thinking about what restrictions we could suggest as an
alternative to a total ban. My feeling is that it is acceptable to
have restrictions, but not acceptable to have a blanket total ban.

1. Concession fare (previously implemented, recommended by PTUA)
2. Numeric limits on bikes per carriage at peak hour.
e.g. 1 bike per carriage. (0 in first carriage)
or 1 bike per set of doorways.  (0 in first doorway next to driver)
Limits like this are extremely easy to see if they are being fulfilled
or not, whereas if you said no bikes when the carriage has more than X
people it wouldn't really work. They are also simple to state, so
simple to understand I think.

For V/Line I think it is clear, they just need to implement a booking
system. No booking, no bike. And for people who book then no worries.

cheers
Brianna
