But here in Chicago, one company appears ready to serve the city's notorious South Side. The city has yet to write a formal private bikeshare policy, and doesn't want companies operating without regulations. A second concern is that private bikeshare will steal customers from Divvy, the city-run system. Of course, South Side Chicago is less dense—due largely to the population decline caused by crime—and people there have less money. So if any system will spread into South Side Chicago, it will be these private ones, which are cheaper because they don't have to cover for dock infrastructure.
