An Opal activated bike shed containing 30 secure spaces is now available for commuters who cycle to Campbelltown station.
“I’m pleased to say that now customers will be able to cycle to Campbelltown Station and leave their bicycle inside an Opal access bike shed while they catch a train,” a Transport for NSW spokesperson said.
“People in Campbelltown have been calling for more secure bike parking so these 30 extra free, covered spaces will be welcome news to many.
“All customers need to do is link their Opal card through the bike lockers website and they’ll have access to any of the other bike sheds we introduce in the future as well.
“Bike sheds are free for the community to enjoy so no money will be deducted from your card for using one of these sheds.
“These new bike sheds are different to bike lockers, they’re free and available on a first in first served basis, like commuter car parks.”
The Transport for NSW spokesperson said this was a step in the right direction in encouraging people to embrace cycling as a convenient way of getting around.
“More bike sheds mean fewer customers have to lug around their bikes on crowded peak hour trains and reduced demand for car parking spaces at stations,” the spokesperson said.
The bike shed project was delivered as part of the NSW Government’s Transport Access Program, an initiative to deliver modern, safe and accessible transport infrastructure.
