NEW YORK—The planned Bike-Share for New York City is ambitious—10,000 bikes and 600 stations. Station locations and when the system will actually begin operating remain unclear.
Two Wheel Transit: NYC Bike Share, a new exhibit at the Center for Architecture, is designed to help New Yorkers understand the planned system and elicit feedback. Price structure is included in the display: $90 to $95 for an annual membership, $20–$25 for an unlimited weekly membership, and $8–$10 for an unlimited 24 hour membership, alongside comparisons of how long a certain route would take to travel—for instance, from Penn Station to Grand Central—between a taxi (five minutes, $5.70), public transit ($2.25, 18 minutes) and bike (6 minutes, $0.00—though ultimately depending on membership type and riding frequency.)
