Sounds like a no brainer. The bike share program here in NYC metro area needs to expand, but we’ve got issues with the provider despite becoming the most heavily used bike-share in the nation in less than a year’s time. I think they’re out of their league and can’t keep up with the demand, but there are also issues with their tech provider too. If they can find a provider who can meet their goals, it would be a smashing success here. There’s quite a bit of demand outside the areas that already have racks, and there’s a limit as to what the provider can, well, provide. So we’re maxing out on what is available for the moment.
