It does not include the the bike share program, which started in late May 2013.
When the same people who implemented a system then put out a "report" praising how well their implementation worked, complete with "data" that only they are privy to, I am not exactly surprised that they give themselves stellar grades. I'll wait for a more independent analysis rather than buy into the propaganda.

Still, it is noteworthy that they show a pronounced flattening of ridership in the most recent years. I suppose if that trend continues de Blasio will get the blame for messing up their wonderful plans.
