yes, train rules can be a real hassle. sounds like the light rail experience we had in Sacramento. Bicycles could only be in one part of the car, but if people were sitting there; tough luck they wouldn't move for you. So (for example) they had nice places to hang the bikes but like i said, if someone else was sitting there they wouldn't move. So I had to stand and hold my bike for most of a 40 minute ride, most the time in a practically empty car.
