Disclaimer : I live in Paris and my commute is 95% the municipal bike-sharing system.

My prediction is it wont go away because :

- too much branding associated, velib = Paris

- too much (taxpayer) money invested. Competitors are X5 in prices due to muncipal money distortion.




Hard to beat those 30 free minutes per ride at ~30€ / year


Well, price got revisited[1], now is more 40€/year for that

Oh. My bad. I should have kept up to date.

Still, at 0,20€ / minute on Lime, that's the same price as five half-hour Lime rides.


plus the 1€ unlock fee charged by most (IDK about lime particularly)
