A glitch in push notifications
I’ve noticed a small glitch in push notifications after finishing a ride. See the screenshot attached. I completed ride #1, earned 9 points and my bank showed as 836 points. A few minutes later I completed ride #2, again earned 9 points but my bank total increased by 18 points (854 - 836.) I again earned 9 points for ride #3 but my bank balance stayed at 854. l don’t consider it to be a big deal as the error always self-corrects after the next ride or two and, more importantly, the point bank in the app always shows the proper amount. Using the above, after ride #2 my bank total should be 845 points, which is what the app shows. So the error is the number showing in the push notification, not in the app itself. It happens maybe once a month or so. I’m posting it as an FYI for other BAs as well as anyone on the tech team who wants a project.
Lost & Found
Did anyone lose a bike key last night (August 13th) in Manhattan...or know of someone else who did? Spread the word and let me know if you hear anything. Details such as the number of the citibike key and what other items were on the key ring would help to verify the owner's identity. Thank you.
NYC Proof of age coming?
Press in NYC is reporting today that the city will require Lyft to limit bike rentals (I assume pedal assist) to those 16 and older. I guess there has been a growing rate of a accidents involving those below 16. I am 6FT, 190, and can handle the bike in various situations, but I would think the very heavy bikes can be dangerous with those younger/smaller/lighter esp if not obeying bike rules. Anyway this seems hard to enforce? Which brings up anther question. How are minors under 16 getting access to these bikes? Dont you need a credit card, or some recurring payment method? Do they get via special city programs?
