We in the US really are starting at square 1 in coordinating bicycles and public transportation.
In the illustration above, about bicycles adjacent to Sao Paulo transit station, we should remember that per
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%E3o_P...ro#cite_note-0
about 3,600,000 riders per day use the combined subway and commuter rail system.
In Denver, if one includes our bus system, our entire public transportation system handles about 250,000 riders (not people) per day.
We, in Denver, as well as in Portland, Pheonix, Dallas, etc., have to start by encouraging via expiring subsidies private companies to open private bike parking at light rail stations, busy park-and-rides, big bus terminals, etc. Until that occurrs- and that WILL NOT OCCURR without short term public subsidy, private money will not provide more than the most 'token' financial support for the bicycle commuter life style.
Perhaps for 5 years or so, a private operator could lease space for $1/year, and, build a facility big enough to hire an exployee 365 days/year, in snow free towns, from 6:00A to 8:00P. Then, bicyclists could park their bikes safely for $1 or $1.50 per day (my wife had her bike stolen at a light rail station). Subsidize the operation long enough for the operation to gain it's own momentum. In snow towns, provide the right incentives to operate from say April through October.
This would widen the usable bike to station radius considerably.
