Tony Utano in Today's Daily News: Citi Bike, Not Dockless Chaos
JULY 13 -- In an Opinion piece in the New York Daily News, TWU Local 100 President Tony Utano argues the case for why Citi Bike must be the bikeshare system of choice in New York City -- one system, that prevents chaos among competing interests:
"Citi Bike is a huge success — but Mayor de Blasio could be throwing a monkey wrench into the works.
Users of the citywide bike-sharing network, which debuted in 2013, now take more than 70,000 rides a day, pedaling to work, parks, stores and many other destinations. It’s an established part of our larger transit system, filling gaps and making it easier for New Yorkers to get around. It’s contributing to a healthier and less-polluting city.
