I think I made 90 points in less than 2 hours today, but I still feel like it's not great. They can improve the incentives, like allowing for net positive points would improve the situation.
Hey there, Ilike2bike, thanks for sharing! Can you provide a bit more detail about what you mean by net positive points? I'd like to hear more to make sure I'm understanding 😊

An example would be if you pick up at a 12 point pick up station & drop off at a 3 point pick up station, instead of getting the net positive 9 points, you get no points & your 3x boost streak is ended.

I'll take a crack at answering...
"pick up at a 12 point pick up station & drop off at a 3 point pick up station"
Well, yeah.
Cause you're not, as they say, making the system more healthier which is the goal of the Bike Angels program.
The computer says the drop-off dock NEEDS bikes taken out, regardless of what's actually happening on the ground. Like a 12 point drop-off at a full station or some other crazy stuff we see throughout the days.
Another example I learned that will end your streaks is, " Lost Booster After Using Cable Lock"

This only applies to cities that allow out of station docking of eBikes but the whole thread is still an interesting read

My logic is that while a 12 point & 3 point pick up both need pick ups, the 12 point pick up needs it much more, so assuming the algorithm is right, that is making it healthier, and in the long run leads to more incentives, leading to more potentialy healthier system.

Thanks for providing this example. I apologize for the delay in reply, but am glad to see our community stepped in to help!
Looking at the thread here, I would agree with jm that the example ride is not beneficial for the system since both stations need bikes moving out.

Gee thanks JM, but for the rest of us why would one station have a much much higher pick up point number than another if it's meaningless?
