You've got two network effects going on.

One is the station placement. I think the key for Rockville is setting expectations. Use the Crystal City stations as an example. That is about 2500 rides a month.

The second is the members themselves. You will already have a large number of rockville residents who are members. So joining CABI will get you rides in Rockville AND DC.

It will be interesting to see how that money is split. If I remember correctly, there are a large (over 1000) members of CABI from Montgomery County already. How do you determine where that money is going to be split?

"Annual membership and usage fees will be waived for low-income workers who meet program guidelines"

That sounds like a horrible idea, since the entire idea of bikesharing is you use it for 30 minutes. If I get to ride it for free all day, you're going to have to capacity issues.
