Citi Bike Is For Sale

A friend forwarded the link to me; first I'd seen the news.

(Perhaps this belongs in the 'For Sale' forum?)

IMHO, the single most salient thought begins the last paragraph:
"Citi Bike, with its exclusive, multiyear contract with the city of New York, is likely to do fine in a sale."
Above comment posted late Wed 25 July 2023. Below is an update / addition:

When I received the 'Verge' link from my friend, my cursory web search for related stories was contemporaneous. The story broke Monday and I now see it did receive earlier coverage elsewhere. If you're looking to read more, I think Aaron Gordon's perspective adds value:

Lyft, the Largest Bikeshare Operator in North America, Wants Out of the Business

Quick summary: Lyft's new CEO perceives bike share as being insufficiently supportive of the company's main product: ride share (you know - cars).
