We had a
bike share program for a while, but it closed down. The owners of the program blamed the bike company, called A2B. The idea was to put the electronics for renting and unlocking the bikes on the bikes themselves, rather than on kiosks or docking stations. This made implementation costs much lower. The bad news was that the system did not work very well so the bikes were unridable much of the time. The good news was that it really was cheaper, so nobody lost much money.
