Why it Matters
Old Model: One vehicle for many trip types. .
Sunk costs, depreciating assets, excess capacity, and locked-in externalities
New Model: Spectrum of diverse travel modes available to choose best mode for type of trip. .
No sunk costs, depreciation, or waste.

Indicators & Methodology
PERFORMANCE INDICATORS: • Infrastructure Use (Daily Trips per Bike)
• Market Penetration (Daily Trips per 1,000 Residents)
• Cost Efficiency (Operating Cost per Trip)
PLANNING METRICS: • Station Density (Stations per km2)
• Bikes per 1,000 Residents
• Number of Bikes
