NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – An audit of New York’s bike share program reveals spotty maintenance, poor cleanliness and defective parking stations.
That’s what city Comptroller Scott Stringer reported Thursday in his review of New York City Bike Share — the largest such program in the country.
Its 6,000 two-wheelers are seen all over Manhattan each day.
As of last August, Citi Bike riders took about 34,000 rides per day, making the program what Stringer calls a “critical component of our transportation network.”
