This blog is about standards: discussing what should be acceptable levels of service from New York City’s bicycle-sharing system.
It is particularly aimed at the more than 100,000 people who have become annual members of the program.
While we hope we won’t ever be accused of cheerleading, let us say right here: We think the the program is fantabulous.
We believe that the system has a decent chance to become as necessary a part of the public transit mix as a taxi or an A train.
That can only happen if bicycles are consistently available in all served neighborhoods. And all served neighborhoods must be served equally. Right now, neither condition is being met.
