'Bike On, Bike Off' Trains in Philippines for Greener Transport
http://www.railway-technology.com/news/news69691.html?mxmroi=6221777/2363251/false

The Philippines' Light Rail Authority has launched a new green 
initiative that asks drivers to ride foldable bikes to reach railway 
stations, take trains and bike off towards their destinations.

The new 'Bike On, Bike Off' project allows folding bike users to enter 
the station and use the light rail system any time, without any 
additional charge for the folding bikes.

Bike users can keep their bikes in the reserved last coach of any train, 
called the "green zone", while they travel by train.

The initiative is aimed at reducing pollution and congestion on roads 
from cars.

The project covers the Baclaran-Monumento Line 1 and the Recto-Santolan 
Line 2 of the light rail system.
