news
Looks like another of Boris's grand projects isn't living up to the
hype:

bet they don't deliver a profit either
That's right, they don't, even with sponsorship.
which makes one wonder why Uber want to enter such a market (presumably
only
in places that don't already have them)
Uber is moving into electric bikes and scooters, not push bikes. Of
course, as with its cars, Uber doesn't expect to make a profit from
the move into e-bikes and scooters.
It's got to be expecting a potential for profit.
Its backers aren't completely daft
Presumably, but not any time soon.
