I don't want stations cluttered up with personal luggage and bags, people should leave their bags at home and just rent a public suitcase of clothes at their destination...

If public transport is to be a viable alternative to cars, then it needs to be usable to transport people and their stuff in similar ways as cars do. That means some people will want to take their bike across the country to go for a bike ride somewhere. They may also need to move a couple of bags of stuff. Etc...

It's amazing how cyclists will make almost exactly the same arguments in favour of riding their private bikes everywhere that car drivers make in favour of driving their private cars everywhere.

At a certain point, private transportation does not scale, and that applies to bicycles too.

Sure, it happens at WAY higher volumes for bikes than for cars, but it does happen.

I don't want trains and stations getting filled up by private bikes. I want more room for people to take public transit.
