Capping Citibike ebikes Charge at $2.90?

Question

I personally prefer to take an ebike sometimes instead of the subway, especially if going somewhere far. From my experience it is the fastest and most predictable way to get from point A to B. This was also demonstrated in a NYT article on getting from Time Square to LGA.However, the biggest negative is the charge. A 20+ min ride is $5+.&nbsp;It would be great if the ebike fee was capped at the same rate as the subway, $2.90 as long as under a certain time frame.I understand that Lyft needs to cover their costs, but the MTA just generated $159 million in the 1st quarter of 2025 from congestion pricing.&nbsp;I am not sure if any of these revenues are planned to help fund Citibike, especially ebikes. If not might be a good idea to help cap the ebike fee.Thoughts?
