Direction: read the following passage and decide whether the statements are True or False. [A] The operators declined to provide specific data on their losses. They said theft and vandalism were common in the early months of operations but have dropped significantly since then. Because the bikes are equipped with GPS, the recovery rate is high, they said. “Fifty percent is extremely high,” said Euwyn Poon, co-founder and resident of Spin, which plans to add scooters to its fleet. “We don’t really experience bikes going missing or being vandalized in D. C. or in other parts of the country.” [B] “Initially, when the service was brand new, there was some loss and vandalism. When you have a product that’s available for public consumption, you account for that,” Poon said. “However, that has decreased dramatically as bike-share has become more ingrained in the public infrastructure.” [C] The companies have been operating in the city since a pilot program launched in September. The pilot was scheduled to end in April but was extended to the end of August. City officials are expected to come up with a plan for a permanent program during this testing period and are evaluating how the bike services are performing, including problems with theft and vandalism. [K] Some companies say promotions in the early days of the program may have led to problems. For example, riders taking advantage of free riders weren’t securely locking the bikes after completing a trip. Thieves are then able to use the unlocked bicycles to take rides without using a credit card. Some companies say they now offer incentives for customers to properly lock the bikes. [L] City transportation officials say the pilot’s cap on the number of bikes is essentially to limit bike litter. But as part of the pilot, they are assessing whether demand exists to raise the limit or eliminate it. The companies say 400 bikes are not enough to make a profit and deploy them to all four quadrants of the city as required.
