I've been a critic of cabi since it started, but was willing to admit my skeptisim when I started reading the linked article above.

Then I got to this gem:

"Not included are what I imagine to be rather substantial marketing and management costs."

Seriously, what in the world is the point of trying to perpetuate fiscal success when you purposely leave out what are probably the two most significant costs to the program? What a joke.

Also, their trip stats are suspect. Their use has supposedly accelerated since summer, rather than fall off which is what happens when the weather turns cold. Last winters cabi ridership fell off 40% during the winter months. Granted, this winter hasn't been "brutal", but neither was last years. Seems unlikely that cabi would increase ridership when the weather turns cold.
