It's really a pathetic number of bikes and doesn't come close to meeting demand maybe the mandate of SF is not to satisfy demand or Uber's profit incentive but to keep public interest in mind, e.g. ensure that Uber doesn't develop a monopoly on whatever a jump bike is. |

I'm curious how you get around. Do you own a car? It's a fairly privileged view that only the well-off should have access to point-to-point transportation and maybe some civil disobedience was in order to rectify this injustice.

Prior restraint on free enterprise that lacks negative externalities opens the door to crony capitalism replete with bribes, donations, and rent-seeking. In government, never ascribe to benevolence that which can be better explained by greed or power-seeking.
