Just got this email, so don't plan to ride Divvy home today:

Looks like "tomorrow morning" meant "tomorrow at noon."
A "qualified promise."
Alta makes every effort to provide the Services for 365 days per year; however, Alta does not guarantee that the Services will be available at all times, as force majeure events or other circumstances might prevent Alta from providing the Services from time to time.

Sometimes weather in Chicago adversely affects transportation options. For every 24 hour period Divvy is locked down, each Divvy annual pass holder is "losing" just under $0.21. Were it not for the disclosure in the initial contract which they all entered into, I'd smell a class action lawsuit.
Sorry, Kevin, I think you may be too late to breathe new life into this one. Michael B's declared us all morons, Lisa's insulted me, and 10 new people called Adam a whiner. There's really nothing left to do here.
There you go with all of that rationality and legal stuff again.

Why do you have an axe to grind against Divvy? Extreme cost of divvy? An annual pass costs $75 which is less than a monthly pass to the CTA. The system costs about $22-30 million which is a lot less than the $2.5 billion the Illiana tollway is projected to cost or the $425 million for the red line station reconstruction on the south side. The city budget is around 3.5 billion so the divvy system is less than 1% of that. Hell, I'm pretty sure that the patches that the city did to the LSD over the fall cost almost as much as the Divvy system.

Exactly. Except Divvy (Alta) doesn't really save money. They make a profit. The more they shut down the more profit they earn get.
I was under the impression that the whole point of justifying (what I call) the extreme cost of Divvy was the great 24/7/365 service we would get, even when tourist revenues don't justify being open.
I was afraid it would be lost on you. ;-)

I agree that we probably have too much public worship (esp. by government agents) happening but I don't see how this relates to Divvy or bikes. Unless there's been a recent spate of people celebrating the Madonna del Ghisallo around the US that I've totally missed.

As big as Alta Vike Share us you know their legal tean thought about this as a possibility. And our over liturgical society keeps humming along.
I thought that was a compliment!

Wonder if they could equip each Divvy with a small snow plow?
