Question: Full size folding bikes?

I have a friend who wants a bike so he can bike to work from the train station.

He’s considering a full sized folding bike, like those available from Montague with 26″ wheels.

Are full sized folders at all practical for multimodal commutes? Can you haul these into a bus or train?

Caltrain’s folding bike rules say a folded bike must fit under a seat (as if) or in a luggage rack. I’m don’t know uf Montague’s folders fit the bill and I don’t want to give any bad advice.

If you have real world experience with 26″ folding bikes on public transportation I’d love to hear from you.
