Algo limitations downtown
I'm new to point farming but enjoy the gamified aspect. I've noticed that the algo does well in Midtown and UES at showing opportunities for local rebalancing, presumably because local supply/demand varies. Bike Angels on streaks can help here. But downtown, the supply/demand imbalance often seems regional, with literally ALL docks showing the same imbalance. (For example, early mornings) When this happens, Bike Angels have no incentive to work, and bikes will only be repositioned by long-haul riders, who almost by definition are not point farmers. Does Citibike understand why this regional asymmetry exist? Can it be solved, perhaps by off-hour en masse moves to create local imbalances?56Views1like1CommentIs There a Bike Angels Reward for Returning Abandoned Citibike?
Is there a reward through the Bike Angels program for returning abandoned Citibikes that are left outside of stations? If so, what is the process for doing this? I often see bikes left around, but given my tight schedule, it doesn’t seem worth the effort without a clear incentive. A way to scan them to know that they are truly abandoned and receive substantial points for returning them would be ideal.101Views3likes3Comments3X Streak Ended on a Positive Ride
I had a 3X streak going that was ENDED by a ride in which I earned 9 points: I picked up from a neutral station and returned to a station that had 9 return points. In the past I believe that all positive rides kept streaks alive and streaks were only ENDED by negative rides (neutral rides to 0/0 stations would not end a streak). Had anyone else had the same issue?Solved548Views0likes3CommentsWhere can I check how many points I have?
Question Where can I check how many points I have? Answer Bike Angels with active bikeshare memberships can view their lifetime points and points bank totals in their Bike Angels profile. You'll also see your lifetime points total each time you launch your Citi Bike app.185Views0likes0CommentsNew Points system
Maybe someone in the community can explain better than Citibike reps. How does the new Points system work? There is no more automatic rewards after reaching a certain number of points? And I do not understand about expiration, right now I have accumulated 42 monthly points. They are now in the "bank". Do I have to sue them before the end of the month?Solved7.2KViews4likes46Comments
