we have some of those at commuter rail stations. never seen anyone sleeping in one or using for long term storage - i think the pricing scheme discourages that.

i’m of mixed opinion about them. more secure, yes, but takes many times the space per bike of either a freestanding rack or larger scale bike facility.

at some point, the advantages compared to cars start to dwindle a bit.
