I've been Citibiking since nearly the start and I prefer the new models.
Sometimes the brakes are bad, true, but I never pick one with a flat tire (of course checking before I take it out) and I have to say I have gotten tremendous utility from my membership. Sucks to see someone who didn't like it.
I think your last point is pretty devastating and I don't see dockless bike sharing ever reaching the grand scale of something like Citibike.
- colept 10y agoThe biggest source of conflict with Citibike is that they removed the feature to report bikes as broken. So they take twice as long to be replaced. Since then I've moved to a position where it's cheaper to have my own bike or walk.
