CitiBike is jacking up prices for the straight fifth year and partly blaming tariffs — demanding 41% higher membership rates and at least 240% more from casual cyclists since the program began in 2019.
“This adjustment is necessary to manage increased operational expenses, including the impact of rising tariffs,” Citi Bike wrote in a statement.

Yah, SURE /laughs ... Us deplorable bitter clingers in the NYC suburbs really believe any of the nonsensical excuses about *anything* that any of the silly screwball leftists of NYC say, ehhhhh ??? /laughs
Here we have a NYC based, public bicycle short term rental program, sponsored by a U.S. mega-Corporation, CitiCorp; run by a U.S. based ride sharing Corporation; Lyft ... which is kinda a bit of a nice thing as it were .... b-b-bb-but supposedly, according Lyft and CitiCorp, a 240% increase in street bicycle rental prices from 2019 to 2025 is due to "Tariffs" ... as if the street price for a rental bike in NYC has anything to do with international trade involving 'tariffs' !!! /laughs
Only some dopey full-tilt TDS Leftist idiot could ever come up with such nonsense, but yet they do ... YIKES !!!
They could try and work down the rental, to absorb some of the tariffs.
From what I see. I’ll have me some more of these tariffs!
New Yorker’s are so naive. You can buy a bike cheaper than renting it. But there must be some government kickback scheme involve in this. $239.00 a year to rent one for a year
Many New Yorkers live in 400sqft apartments. They don’t have the room for a bicycle.
20'x20' tiny squalors with perhaps a bathroom (if they're lucky) and a lil' Kitchenette (if they're *really* lucky) ... $2000 to $3000 per month for this squalor, which is over $36,000 alone, just in rent !!!
But they'll still vote for, and embrace, a screwball Communist who pretends to be a Socialist but is really just yet another hack corrupt politician who'se net worth will increase to several millions of dollars within the next 6 months ..... Leftie voters never learn.
“You will own nothing. And you will be happy.”
Probably a lot of theft and damage going on...

“Many New Yorkers live in 400sqft apartments.”
Just thinking about that makes me claustrophobic. A quilting frame wouldn’t fit into that space. 1800 sq. ft. would too small for me — until they haul me off to a senior living facility.
Of course, they could OWN a decent bike for $750.00 or so. But, it would get stolen within a week unless it was never ridden:
