Cycling in Waterloo Region

Thanks for the link, I probably should have just googled it in the first place.  Really interesting though.

Doesn't it seem like we've tried a number of different bike share platforms?  Any reason on the constant change?

Personally I don't think there is a big demand for it here and probably not really any way to run it without a big financial subsidy... charging too much would just lead people to take the bus or buy their own bike. I also think it works better in places with more density than we have.

I mean, this is possible. But dropbike, and many other dockless bike share operators appear to be operating successfully in many other places, including places with less density than we have.

As is often with biking, we might be surprised by the demand.  Density matters far less when biking.
