  • That sucks, in Montreal they have a good solution to this. Essentially you pay per minute, and people have to return it to the station to stop the counter. There's parking stations pretty much everywhere, and I've never seen a bike left out.

    • Although pay per minute is an absolutely terrible system for something you'd want people to drive carefully and while following traffic laws. It really is no wonder you see them being driven at full tilt and never stopping at red lights.

      • Oh wow that's so true, never occured to me. Definitely can be seen as an incentive to go faster.

    • Shared bikes still work that way in Paris too.

      Edit: You can even choose between e-bikes and regular bikes.
