In Kaohsiung, Taiwan, there's City Bikes (government-owned, docking) and OBikes (independent, dockless). The City Bikes use the same iPass metro card. They're free for 30 mins. They have larger wheels so ride faster. I don't need to use cellular data or the latest app of the day in order to use them. Both are popular, but neither have taken away from my favourite system - several cheap broken bikes I bought from scrapyards, which I park at metro stations and cannibalise for parts when I need them (e.g. I swapped out an inner tube last week; a tyre this week). Many bicycles are made in Taiwan, and broken bikes can be as cheap as 300 NTD (compared to 60 NTD to put it on the metro for one trip). Over 3.5 years I think I've bought 8 scrap bikes, though I gave one away and 2 were stolen. Right now 3 are rideable. I can park anywhere without needing to dock, I don't need to worry if they get stolen (they're so cheap), and it pays for itself in metro fares within a month. I get regular exercise, I'm not limited by the 30 minute docking charges, and they're easy to repair. Traffic jams are a non-issue. When I leave (hopefully to NZ soon if I can get a job) then they're easy to get rid of.
