1. Nice Overview at the beginning!
   I am an Irish tourist here so Why not have a look at my Personal Tour Inside & Outside the station?!
   You can check out all the facilities inside, in the video on my Channel that I made! :) Yvonne, Ireland
2. 1:59 no railing next to the canal?
3. Here is an idea for many American, Canadian, maybe British and Australian cities to create a pedestrianized zone and at the same time, provide vast amounts of bicycle parking. In Canada an underground car parking facility is called a parkade. If you pedestrianize the area all around the parkade, into a pedestrianized city centre, then the parkade will become useless, except for the fact that we have a very large shelter, a ramp to the roads and an advantageous position in the city centre. If you took away the markings in the car parking spaces, added two tiered bicycle racks, remarked the area to create cycling spaces and parking spaces, then you can have a massive amount of parking. For every car parking space you could have more than 10 bikes parked in its place. And because not all of the space required to move around by car is required, you can have even more space. An electronic system to register if and when the bikes have been parked, to simplify the removal of those who park too long and at the same time, can be used to electronically display to people how much parking there is in each row of racks and in the facility in general, and adding more lighting to such a place, as often they are underlit now, would make for a great way to create extra bike parking with a lot lower expense than building a new facility. You can make it paid for or free, guarded or not, but also consider adding a post along with each rack to lock your bike with as most people do not have wheel-locks in the western world outside the Netherlands. If you combine this with a well designed pedestrianized zone, maybe a full or partial conversion of parking at a major train station, and a great system of 20 mph/30 km/h zones traffic calmed residential streets, protected cycle tracks with good width, completeness at intersections/junctions, either simultaneous green or protected intersection like Mark Wagenbuur and Nick Falbo advocate for, lots of filtered permeability and sending motor traffic away from residential mixed streets, then you could have a great city that focuses on cycling.
4. As mentioned in the video: there is no guard. In the first few months since it was opened, already a few dozen bikes werd stolen.
   
   So.. Nice system to park bikes, but I would not park an expensive bike in there. Delft used to have a guarded place to park bikes. Hopefully that returns soon.
   
   The second issue is that the total nummer of available spaces, both inside and outside, is not sufficient to facilitate everyone who needs it.
5. I'll give it 2 years before the fences are lined with abandoned bikes and you can't even walk on the fucking sidewalk anymore
6. Gaat lekker zo met de views.
7. I've been there myself, It's really really big!
8. Amsterdam needs this...
9. Is it free of charge?
10. It is inspiring... I'd really like to live in a city with that kind of development... I love riding bicycles :)! 
11. Algo surreal no Brasil...
12. El futuro llego.. hace rato.
13. This place rocks!!!
14. An American dream! Can you imagine this in NYC, SF, LA, etc? 
15. No padlock?
16. tfw my third ass world country major city is centuries away from this... ;_; development here is viewed as citizens with CARS, the whole transportation system is beginning to colapse
17. 3:38 That has to be an American I hear!
18. Nearly every train station in the Netherlands does have this kind of a system.. only the counting part is new..
19. Beautiful video Mark! "Lock before you lift," good to remember!
20. And here in Spain the government thinks in make a law to have obligatory insurance, pay taxes and have a license plate like a regular vehicle.
    And even deeper, with a obligatory helmet and reflective vest or the police give you a expensive ticket.
