Bixi’s bankruptcy has been the newsmaker of 2014 for the North American market. Arguably more important is the arrival of Nextbike into the market.
It’s a very positive step. Nextbike’s technology and business model enables far more financially sustainable programs than did Bixi’s technology. Check out Nextbike’s arrival in Times Square as part of Superbowl festivities, or the New Jersey’s press release on awarding Nextbike the second bikeshare program in the New York City area.
