Actually, Montreal's Bixi bike share program posted a surplus for 2016. As well. it started out as a private concern and was taken over by the city a couple of years ago as a non profit public bike share program,sort of blowing away any thought that publicly owned services are less efficient than ones that are private. Also, keep in mind that Montreal has a mountain smack in the center of the city,so there are plenty of hills here. Admittedly we have no mandatory helmet law
The 2016 surplus will be used to provide better services this year

Opinion: No, Bixi Montreal is not profitable | Montreal Gazette
Montreal on the hook for $16 million to unpaid Bixi suppliers | Montreal Gazette
Or maybe you work for the company since the April 2017 article said no financial statement yet for 2016 but you posted on 1/2017 that 2016 was profitable. You must have the numbers already.
All publicly owned services are less efficient than private. You stating otherwise doesn't change that.
