It seems there have been some places where bike sharing has worked. I wonder why it did not work in your city. I always thought it would be way too easy for people to simply steal the bikes.
ReplyDeleteThat weird. And here in our car-centered city our Capital Bike sharing program is expanding.
ReplyDeleteBike shares seem to work here.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why bike sharing has failed in Livorno when it has been a rousing success elsewhere.

ReplyDeleteOver here in DC metro area, it keeps on growing.

ReplyDeleteSad photo of failed bike sharing station. Bicycles are such a great way to get around with a long list of benefits for both community and individuals. But the program can have obvious difficulties. The city will not go bankrupt over the failure of this program.
