Reply to comment by [deleted] in If you “lose” a citibike by ar1680

They charge too much and don’t maintain the bikes. Surely telling people to just steal them will help alleviate both of those issues

It won’t. Citibike as an idea is great, but it’s incompatible with profit seeking private sector. The city needs to make an actual public alternative. Driving citibike into bankruptcy will influence the city to do so, and show them private companies cant be trusted to provide public services.

People going to jail paying thousands of dollars for using public property is greatly troubling. Clearly, the legal system needs to be greatly reformed, if not abolished.

Citibike isn’t public property. Stealing a shared resource is not using it. Jesus christ I knew you guys were stupid but do you live in an alternate reality?

Ah yes let’s abolish the legal system. I’m sure you and your crime committing buddies won’t do anything terrible if that happens.

Seek help. Not from me though. I’ve already schooled you enough today.

They are either a troll or a dumb 13 yo kid who thinks they are being edgy.

As much as I wish you were right there are honestly people this delusional who live in the city. Entitlement is americas greatest problem. These kids got so many participation trophies they can’t fathom the idea that they’re wrong or things aren’t the way they want them to be.

Citibike is absolutely public property. Why, they even store their bikes on the streets! “Crime” is a silly word made up by governments to let them harm you over arbitrary made up rules.
