Without knowing what city you're talking about, it could be like SF where the poor neighborborhoods blocked bikes. Here they say the bikes are too expensive for poor people even though its $5/year if you qualify for discounted public transit.
- forapurpose 9y agoThe poorer neighborhoods didn't block the bikes. My impression: Upwardly mobile younger citizens liked the idea of bikeshare, so they built a system to serve their interests using pubilc (i.e., everybody's) money. The real value to bikeshare, IMHO, is the economic benefit to those who lack access to other forms of transportation such as privately owned cars and (automobile) ridsshare.
