Caltrain Installs 500th Bike Locker

Today, Caltrain installed its 500th BikeLink e-locker, with the latest now serving Sunnyvale Station.

Caltrain first began installing e-lockers in 2021, and they are now available at 24 of Caltrain’s 31 stations. Currently, approximately 20% of Caltrain riders access the system via bike, and the agency carries more bikes than any other rail system in the United States, making easily accessible bike parking a priority for the agency.

In the past three months alone, over 1600 people have used a Caltrain e-locker, with a total of 7500 rentals totaling 80,000 hours of use during that time.

In order to use the e-lockers, download the BikeLink app, which will grant you access to a locker. Pricing is dynamic, but the standard rate is five cents per hour. Caltrain is holding a promotional contest offering five lucky winners a free 500 hours of e-locker use. Say tuned to Caltrain’s social media channels and use the e-lockers before the end of June for a chance to win.
