Don't you have a 8 car limit on Sydney trains now because of the length of
the platforms. Adding a car to the train will be very, very expensive. On
the two-tier cars you will have to store the bike on the
level-with-the-platform section. Extending this area will reduce the
passenger capacity of the car.

"Yes Sir/Madam, you may take the velocipede on the train, please buy five
normal tickets and use the rear of car 6."

Or is the group concensus that the other passengers help pay for the bike's
transport? Why?
