Dutch guy here. Cool system but won’t happen in Netherlands. At least not significantly, maybe they would make a couple. But it wouldn’t be everywhere. If you’re Dutch you probably can think of why, but if not: might not grasp just how many bikes there are in Netherlands. There is around 24 million of them. About 1.5x as many as there is people. Not owning a bike would be considered extremely odd here. Also everyone bikes everywhere. Especially schools, pretty much every single kid will bike to school. Often teachers too, leading to thousands of bikes at schools. Try and make an underground park that can fit 4000 bikes. Gonna cost way too much money. Instead we use different storages, to be fair this one is cool but it just doesn’t have the capacity. Underneath the station in my city for example there is a massive bike park. It’s manual but has cameras, is clean and tidy and is free to use the first 24h. That thing fits about 3500 bikes I believe in one park (and it’s far from cramped. Most space is dedicated to walking paths)

It’s sad that our country has gotten like this, you go to Japan and see how culturally they act and you are amazed and saddened at the same time. Phenomenal ppl and country
That's because Japan doesn't believe an individual's only group think. It sucks if you have anything wrong with you or slightly different you're ostracized from society.
It’s crazy I wonder what the demographic is over there? Probably not a big melting pot of people, probably not a bunch of cultures trying to navigate the each others worlds, also probably pretty much all the same because their country literally has a law stating what language is to be used there so the country doesn’t pander to every language. Crazy I just don’t understand how they could be doing so well?!?!?
how? the doors are hydraulic and there’s thousands of moving parts. if you could get through the doors you’d be crushed the first time someone tried to use it
