An Oregon company that once hired Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s transportation commissioner as a consultant got the go-ahead Friday to offer 4,000 bikes for rental at 400 stations for the next fifteen years, providing the “missing link” in Chicago mass transit.
[...] The City Council’s Committee on Traffic and Pedestrian Safety gave Alta Bicycle Share the go-ahead to operate the bike-sharing system until 2027, despite a rival bidder’s claim that the path was greased, in part, because of Transportation Commissioner Gabe Klein’s past ties to the company.
Nice to see nothing has changed under Rahm.
