The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

Have you guessed which bikeshare in the U.S. is the most expensive? It’s New York City’s Citi Bike, which isn’t shocking given that it’s NYC. But it’s also more expensive than London’s Santander bike share and Paris’s Lime and Vélib bikes. How is this possible when the NYC program’s growth continues to rake in more and more money? Streetsblog NYC’s Dave Colon looks at a new report that attempts to answer this question.

Plus: On this episode of The Brake, we’re joined by Carter Lavin’s to discuss his new book, “If You Want to Win, You’ve Got To Fight: A Guide to Effective Transportation Advocacy,” which host Kea Wilson called, “The book the transportation reform movement has been waiting for.”
