Reply to comment by nationalmoz in Citi Bike bumps up prices by 11% starting in the New Year | amNewYork by King-of-New-York
The cost increase is about a couple of bike rides, it's still very much worth it if you are a frequent user

Is it better than just buying our own bike ?

Depends if you ride frequently and have a safe place to store a bike then buying your own bike makes sense. If you don’t want that hassle of taking care of a bike and like the e-bike option then it’s worth it.

It was once a justifiable alternative to the subway, now its worse.

The main appeal of these bikes for me is being able to dock it and forget about.

Yeah , although I’ve seen some idiots riding the subway with the citi bike. Like dude , the whole purpose of citi bike is docking the bike wherever you want so you can avoid these inconveniences

The people you see doing that most likely haven’t acquired their citibikes legally.

Cheaper to take the bike on the train and then ride to your final destination to dock it, than pay for one bike ride on one end and a second bike ride on the other end
