I live in a pretty big city in China and you can ride the bike shares here for 2RMB per trip (like $0.35). No time limit. Like standard of living is obviously cheaper here than in NYC in general but it’s just wild to me. I wonder how much of it is upkeep and to make up for theft?

And there’s always so many bikes. I remember a lot of empty racks (or full ones when you needed to park) when I lived in the city.
