High quality public transportation plus bike sharing kiosks at every station and spread around nearby (i.e. a bunch of cheap single person transportation units)

High quality public transportation plus bike sharing kiosks at every station and spread around nearby (i.e. a bunch of cheap single person transportation units) seems like the perfect transportation solution to me. Bikes extend the reach of the transit system by at least a mile, which would be a godsend given the lack of transit-supportive density in most American cities.

Or better still, you end up with "Velib Extrem!": http://road.cc/content/news/2223-velib-extreme-hits-parisian-bike-hire-scheme…-allegedly http://road.cc/content/news/2223-velib-extreme-hits-parisian...
- natrius 17y agoI meant paid bike sharing, like Velib. Despite JCDecaux's complaints, I think they're still making money off of it. From what I've read, their losses on the program are paid by the city after a certain point.
