Toronto has had their public share for over a year or so. I just visit the city since I have family living all over the area. I also tend to frequent downtown area.
There some public bike share locations on the edge of low-income areas which are near major streets where there are bike routes /tourist destinations/ restaurants and business districts. Also "poor"/low-income isn't just in some downtown areas ...not always in some cities.
Certain suburban areas have become poor....because it's cheaper to rent/buy housing out in those areas. There are some areas like that in Toronto. Would public bike share work? Only if one had an annual subscription and near subway stations to major neighbourhood. It definitely doesn't work in sprawling suburban areas.
Whereas certain downtown core areas are becoming slowly gentrified.
I don't what NYC is like.
