@David C,

I only partly agree. The only users that will find a station empty (even when bikes are there) are the ones that don't check online. I would compare this roughly to riding Amtrak. If I buy my ticket ahead of time I am (in theory) guaranteed a seat on the train that I selected. Any riders that show up at the train station expecting to get a seat are taking the risk that the train is not filled yet.

Again, the benefit to this is simply that it removes the uncertainty involved in using the system without imposing a variable pricing structure. For me, at least, that uncertainty has made CaBi a system that I try NOT to use anymore. I have had my plans foiled one too many times.
