Mayor Eric Adams expressed his desire to subsidize Citi Bike for low-income New Yorkers to encourage bike use, despite not committing to his campaign pledge yet.
Adams emphasized the need for the bike share service to remain affordable, acknowledging the recent 38% increase in per-minute rates and calling for potential subsidies.
Meera Joshi, Deputy Mayor of Operations, stated that if the city is to expand Citi Bike into outer boroughs, public subsidy must be part of the conversation.
With recent price hikes making Citi Bike costs soar, a day pass now stands at $19, highlighting the urgent need for discussion on affordability.
