Bikes and Caltrain
Starting in early 2021, Caltrain will be upgrading bicycle lockers system-wide. Lockers will be available on demand with a BikeLink account, and will no longer be assigned to individual users. The new system will be easier to use and provide increased availability for people with bikes. E-Lockers are already available at eight Caltrain stations and are also available at many BART, VTA, SFMTA, and Capitol Corridor stations throughout the Bay Area.
As part of this effort, the existing keyed lockers at Caltrain stations will be removed and replaced throughout 2021. Existing locker tenants will be notified by mail of removal dates and notices will be posted at stations.
Access to the new Caltrain e-lockers will be available for $0.05 per hour during weekdays and $0.02 per hour during nights and weekends. Customers can access e-lockers via a pre-loaded BikeLink card, a Clipper card with a linked BikeLink account, or by a mobile app that will be released soon.

Bicycles are a major mode of access to the Caltrain system, providing an efficient and sustainable way for riders to arrive at their origin station or final destination. On a typical weekday, more than 7,000 of Caltrain’s approximately 65,000 customers ride their bikes to a station. With bike share’s growing popularity and the ongoing implementation of improved bike parking and access, riders can choose a variety of ways to bike and use Caltrain.
