Hight Tech Bicycle Facility In Tokyo

Customers who come to the station by bicycle need only place their bike on a small platform and hit a few buttons, and the system will automatically store their bike in an underground parking garage that can accommodate 9,400 bikes. When the reporter asks the machine to retrieve his bicycle, it only takes 23 seconds to accomplish the task. The parking system costs 100 yen for a single use, or 1,800 yen for a monthly pass.

100 yen is about 1 dollar (USD). Or, you could buy yourself a 20 dollar lock that can replace $365 USD worth of bike parking a year.

^^Thats why it says 1800 yen for a month and which is $18 a month equals to $216 a yr...
Im more concerned about the traffic with that place...Since there is only 1 "vending" machine and a 23 second wait for each person...That is going to be a long ass line

At first this seems like a cool idea, but paying to ensure that a bike is kept in a secure location seems like a waste as ultimadrift said "$216 a yr" The amount is worse than being addicted to WoW.
