Recently started as a consultant, and aiming to provide advices to authorities on this kind of project, I really would appreciate it if you could send me the information on the calculations/costs/advertising exchange, as you have provided to my fellow-respondents before. Many thanks upfront, Best regards, Arthur Malcorps Dear Joe,

I was hoping you could possibly give me any significant information you had on the financial machanisms and realized ecological benefits experienced by paris since the implementation of the program (i.e. quantified reductions in congestion, fuel consumption, oil demand, etc). I am impressed by your acumen and would really appreciate your help. Thanks! Hi GreenJoe,

Like anyone else I am interested in the financing mechanisms of Paris, but also of the older systems like Barcelona, Lyon and Berlin. Can you provide me perhaps with more information on those systems? Thanks in advance. Dear GreenJoe,

Your post about the financial aspects of the velib contains a lot of new information and a very interesting view. Like anyone else I am interested in the financing mechanisms of Paris, but also of the older systems like Barcelona, Lyon and Berlin. Can you provide me perhaps with more information on those systems? Thanks in advance.

QI Systems (qisystemsinc.com) built one of the first card operated bike sharing programs back in 2005 and has now enhanced the product with several nice options. You don't have to trade away millions of future revenue to get a quality bike sharing system.

Your post is the best insight on this that I've come across so far, but I was wondering if you had any insight on Barcelona's Bicing program? Or if you knew of any other cities bringing in revenues from such a program? Thanks Hi GreenJoe,
