Wyatt, thanks for the insightful analysis and questions.  I was also unaware of the $2m public startup funds and the projected $1.2m PROFIT in the FIRST YEAR.  I strongly doubt Bikeshare Hawaii is going to share profits with the government entities that got it up and running.  (As an aside, this is the basis of my concern with UH's tech transfer initiatives that allow staff and faculty to use state and federal dollars to develop technology projects and then take them private for personal gain.)  My curiosity was raised as I heard about a bikeshare project but I doubt I will pay to use a "biki" when I have my own bike and a bus pass.
