How well does the library/blockbuster video subscription model work for bike+scooter shares?
You offer the item for free or heavily subsidized, and make money off of late fees. In this case, rides are freeish but if you don't return it on time you pay an arm and leg?
This is how my city's docked bike system works, though with a small added monthly membership. The effect is that I have never once used it. The risk of the dock near my destination being full is too big for me to bother.

Someone has to have tried this, right?
