[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's extremely cheap to rent a bike on Capital Bikeshare. In fact, it's cheaper than pretty much any other city's bike sharing program. Those fees don't come anywhere close to covering the program's expenses, even though Capital Bikeshare says its users tend to make six figure incomes. The only reason the program can even function is because taxpayers have contributed tens of millions to dollars to cover the shortfall left by cyclists' artificially low rental fees. Why shouldn't Capital Bikeshare fees be raised by enough to cover its expenses? Other cities' bike sharing programs are self financing. [/quote] Capital Bikeshare is *crazy* cheap compared to other cities. There are cities where it's 5x as expensive as in DC. [/quote]
