Past week came in at a crummy 42 NotSpot number

It saddens us, it really does, to have to report that for the eighth straight week, our bike-sharing system is mired in mediocrity.

Saddened because Citi Bike proved over the summer, at the yearly height of ridership, that it is capable of providing good to excellent service in terms of keeping filled and empty stations stations to a minimum.

So put Week 42 down for a NotSpot 42. Please note that we don’t include adverse weather days, like Week 42’s rainy Wednesday and Thursday, in the final Index. Instead we substitute the previous week’s affected days.
