Sorry, but it requires an account with The New York Times to read the story.

I don't have one. NYT limits free use to 4/month, but relies upon your browser to keep count. If you clear your nytimes.com cookies (or, if you're really smart, figure out how to reset the count), you can read another 4 forever. You can also save the link with right-click, k (save link) and read the local copy. I browse with lynx, whose accesses nytimes.com doesn't count. I don't know why: lynx keeps nytimes.com's cookies.

Familiar story, played out here in the D/FW area in Texas: Managed bike rentals with stations vs the free for all. The China-drive free for all went bust very quickly. It's mostly been interesting as an example of the contradictions between assertions about a free market and the realities.
