NYC Citi Bike has a program called Citi Bike Angels. You get points for taking from a full station, and you get points for docking at an empty station, and the stations giving the most points changes from minute to minute. Some people spend a lot of time "angeling" bikes here and there, and a few make a living at it. They get credits which can be applied to membership fees so you end up paying less. You need a ton of credits to be able to convert them to money. There is an app that shows the opportunities of the minute.
As made famous by the last stage of this year’s Tour

That scheme is a good idea. What do people do after dropping one off? Walk to get another? In London they have vans (sometimes electric) shifting them around in busy periods.
