I use Hubway very often in Boston and must say the system works very well. Three reasons I think it works very well here:
> They have stops everywhere. Near every major T station, near grocery stores, etc. You can always go, park, take another again and ride back.
> Since its so cold out half of the year, I can't leave my bike outside and need to carry it down an elevator from home, through 4 doors and, an elevator at work and back every time. Hubway is low maintenance.
> Hubway has partnerships with most universities and major businesses here. As a student at MIT, you get Hubway yearly at $25 which is a steal. I have a flat tire on my bike, started using Hubway and not looked back.
I think its just an awareness/implementation issue. Once people start using it, I am sure the numbers will look better. Edit: The bike itself costs < $1000. The station itself might be expensive which explains the price.
