Citi Bike is a success beyond all predictions in every metric but one. It was hoped to reduce car trips, and it hasn't. It has reduced only mass transit trips. In a way, it's just in time, because the subways are more crowded than before thanks to the city's increased population. But I hope the city does something to reduce motor vehicle traffic. It's awful.
