Thanks. For the system to work, either a franchise system using interchangeable bikes and a shared billing/inventory system or one politically appointed corporation to be licensed to put pickup and drop off stations on state owned property throughout the urban core.
A last possibility would be for the local government to own the bikes and operate the system, but, I suspect such a system would have high fees.
