Start Points for Cash in Divvy Chicago

Hi

Thanks

Would anyone have the inside scoop, or the logic, on why some cities have a cash option for redeeming Angels points and other cities do not?

I mean, since the cash option has been  ongoing successfully and is well established in NYC, you'd figure it's a proven strategy and a program that Lyft is willing to support and maintain.

That's saying a lot.

So, why NYC and not Chicago?

The NYC program is already in place, and has been tweaked over time. It's firmly established. So the cash option infrastructure is in place at the corporate level.

If the cash option wasn't necessary, or a plus to the Citi Bike system, Lyft would have discontinued the cash option.

So... why is it a plus for NYC, but not necessary in ORD?

Seeing as the Citi Bike cash option has been ongoing for some time, one can say it has already been considered for implementation in other cities and has been rejected.

Why?

Would anyone know the logic behind those discussions?

Thank you.
