Japan Probe has covered “an
amazing new bicycle parking system that has opened at Kasai Station in Tokyo”.
The underground garage can apparently hold 9,400 bikes and, at the push of a
button, the automated system can retrieve one in less than 30 seconds.
An alternative (amateur?) video at
YouTube says a robot
station can handle 180 bikes, so it would take three hours to fill and empty one
silo, if each operation takes 30 seconds per bike. Better hope not everybody
arrives during the rush-hour…..
