The semi-government docked bike rental scheme in my country is free for the first half hour and €0.50 per half hour (or part thereof) after that. (plus €10/year for the account per city, €35/year in Dublin) I don't think I'd use it nearly as much as I would if that wasn't the case.
I would guess it doesn't generate enough revenue to pay for itself overall, but it's incredibly useful for transit around cities.
- beAbU 1y agoYes I checked out the citi bikes pricing in Dublin a while back, and it's mad cheap. If I stayed in Dublin it would have been a total no-brainer to have an account. No need for your own bike, and they are everywhere Thankfully my town is small enough I can just walk where I need to easily enough.
- notTooFarGone 1y agoI'd argue that this is worth it for other hidden costs. Less parking spaces, less emissions, less road usage, more train travel.
