You cities that have a failing bike share system should try moving your bikes to the terminals of the train stops...
You would also have them at your bus stops as well...
Try to limit the buses to the Train Stops by the furthest one out while leaving short distances to the bikes, this way you sort of...force them on the bike ;-)
You could also provide incentive for businesses to host pronto bike stations at their businesses which might motivate people to use them more...
They could peddle to their next stop and so forth...
They could take it one step further and have bike trailers connected to bikes to help in carrying their load...
Maybe even have a pickup service to go to the house to pick up bikes if customers want to use them to do daily runs w/out having to take them back to the "bike rack"...
Or you could start bringing them closer to the homes and have a bike rack neighborhood friendly conveniently located rental station...
To make this ALL work you'll need to have county and city buses run on the same schedules, which currently city and counties are not doing...
They are worried about revenue, which is admirable, but you need to work together and by doing so, you can create a cheaper solution...
This is the problem now, nobody is talking to one another, schedules are all off and nobody is happy all the while taking millions of taxpayers dollars...
Look it's as easy as adding a virtual site to a Master Web page, plus you would be able to see what everyone else can see while navigating your own grid...
County and State have control over their buses, but would only be able to view all bus/train grids throughout the state...
In other words, to provide security for the cities and counties you would have read only privileges on services outside of your network...
The software itself would be able to analyze all the data after a manual submission that would coordinate bus schedules more consistent with all connections in all networks...
Good Luck ;-) you're gonna need it...and that's a fact!
...what can you think of...

The Apple Encryption case dropped...
The FBI said they have dropped the case against Apple because of a third party involvement that discovered a way around the encryption...
sidenote: We heard that John McAfee offered to help...could you imagine :-O
They are being secretive about it as well, but not sure why because more than likely the third party was Syed Rizwan Farook's fingerprint :-D
Either way, it shows that they don't enhouse the talent anymore...
Way to stand your ground Apple, but you know that the Govt. picks it's battles carefully, you can bet it's not over yet...
You know back in the day, it was a proud honor to be the one that showed the government something that helped them with national security, but not anymore...
You say you have improved your relationship with the people, but obviously you haven't...and that's a fact!

Here's an Idea...
Remove the Echo...
It's time to remove the echo from devices...
When you're in speaker mode it creates an echo and an interference signal that muffles the speaker, and depending on the distance you are from the phone can make it worse...
They say a Duck doesn't have an echo when it quacks, and some say they do, well there in lies the confusion, does it or doesn't it needs to be answered...
If the duck doesn't have an echo then it stands to reason that an echo can be removed, and if the echo can be removed the call experience would improve...
...ahhh, if anything, it might just turn out to be a fun exercise in futility ;-)

Qualcomm Security Concerns...
One of the greatest concerns surrounding the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) is its security, and it seems that some people's worst fears have just been realized...
http://betanews.com/2016/03/15/internet-of-things-security/
Another example that companies don't concern themselves with security, and Qualcomm is already failing as we've pointed out earlier.

Did you Really Read it...
AT&T Sent out a little snippet that let you know that your data is our utmost concern, but just so you know we're sharing it already, hope you don't mind...
Oh, thanks...we think...NOT...unsubscribe from it...
"AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT THE PRIVACY OF YOUR CUSTOMER PROPRIETARY NETWORK INFORMATION (OR CPNI)"
"The protection of our customers' privacy is of utmost importance to the employees and management of the AT&T family of companies (AT&T)*. Please take a moment to read the following important message about the privacy of your customer information.
AT&T companies that provide telecommunications and interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service (which permits VoIP customers to both send and receive calls to/from customers with traditional telephone/telecommunications service) would like to share your customer proprietary network information (CPNI) within the AT&T family of companies for our own marketing purposes, including using that information to offer you additional products and services.
What is CPNI? Your CPNI includes the types of telecommunications and interconnected VoIP services you currently purchase, how you use them and the related billing for those services. CPNI does not include your telephone number, your name or your address. Protecting the confidentiality of your CPNI is your right and our duty under federal law. As an AT&T customer, you can restrict the use of your CPNI even within the AT&T family of companies.
To allow AT&T to use your CPNI, no further action is required. AT&T and our authorized agents will not sell, trade or share your CPNI with anyone other than those who are in the AT&T family of companies or are AT&T authorized agents, unless required by law.
If at any time you would prefer that AT&T not use your CPNI to offer you additional products and services, you may:
• Submit an online form at https://www.att.com/ecpnioptout/InitiateCPNIForm.action; or
• Call 800.315.8303 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and follow the prompts; or
• To speak to a service representative call 800.288.2020.
Your decision to permit or restrict the use of CPNI will remain in effect until you decide to change it, which you can do at any time without charge. Restricting our use of your CPNI will not affect the provision of any AT&T products or services to which you currently subscribe, nor will it eliminate other types of marketing contacts.
Thank you for choosing AT&T. We appreciate your business."
It probably won't work for you and they'll refer you to this # 1-800-288-2020, but don't it's just 611 from your phone and they won't know what you're talking about...
Just dial # 800.315.8303, but it probably will give you a technical error and won't be able to process it, just dial back and do it again and it should finish the restriction process.
