The Ford GoBike Resistance
Politicians and residents are uniting to delay Ford GoBike's expansion around San Francisco.
Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez reports on the arrested development of Ford GoBike around the city of San Francisco.
"[A]s the bike rental service is on the cusp of its planned expansion to 7,000 bikes Bay Area-wide, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors is also increasingly pushing back against it and the Lyft-owned company that operates the program, Motivate, by saying that not enough notice has been offered to neighbors about new station installations," writes Fitzgerald Rodriguez.
Was a result, when it comes to bike share options, there are haves and have-nots in the city. "But while each supervisor sees this problem through a neighborhood-focused lense [sic], each individual battle adds up: The bikeshare-slowdown now stretches citywide."
