[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Er, well, there's not even enough people using Capital Bikeshare for the program to break even. Taxpayers have kick in millions of dollars ever single year just to keep it alive. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/07/01/bike-share-price-hike/[/quote] That's true about our road system as well. We keep shoveling money into it year over year and it never turns a profit![/quote] Other major cities' bike share programs can pay for themselves. DC's system is unusual in that it needs to be propped up by taxpayers. The number of cyclists here though has been shrinking for years (unlike in other cities) so it makes sense. [/quote]
