IME (Boston's Hubway), docked bikes are not reliable at rush hour. Even if there's a bike available at your point of departure, there's no guarantee of a slot available at the destination. I do use Hubways off-peak where it's much more reliable and I'm usually not on popular routes. But generally, I'm riding my own bike and the days where I'm taking transit+bikeshare are rather low.
