If they have that confidence that people and municipalities will help their business model there is a perfect chance to make money and prove the naysayers wrong. The concept of money and mouth come to mind. People seem to be getting more considerate every day, maybe they will start parking their park anywhere bikes where they are easy to find and walk the last mile to the remote places they are parking them now. Or Not.

Nobody is making money in the U.S. operating bicycle so-called "ride share". Except for selling the companies to money burning operations like Uber and Lyft.

Someone, anyone, who was interested in actually making money from operations would do better selling lemonade on a street corner.
