"Healthy Ride," the bikeshare system launched in Pittsburgh in 2015, is looking to improve on sagging performance.
Christopher Huffaker reports:
When Healthy Ride, Pittsburgh's bike share program launched in the summer of 2015, the system's 50 stations and 500 bikes were put to good use, seeing over 30,000 rides that summer. Unfortunately for the non-profit network of bikes and its promised healthiness, however, the last two years have seen ridership go down, in more ways than one: fewer people are riding, and they are mostly riding downhill.
In addition to elaborating on those points, Huffaker also reports that changes could be on the way at the bikeshare program. Those changes, which program director David White has called "Healthy Ride 2.0," potentially include hardware and station changes, along with the addition of new stations.
