Funny how others continue to disagree with you.
"In 2011, eight states created new transparency websites: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Dakota, and West Virginia.
Seven states garnered “A” grades. These “leading” states – Texas, Kentucky, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, West Virginia, and Arizona – provide information that is highly searchable, and include detailed data about government contracts, tax subsidies and grants to businesses."

I got my information from NPR radio the other day concerning how Gov. Patrick doesn't want the public to know when Legislators and state employees come and go from the State House parking garage. USPIRG's rating is confined to spending.
Can you provide a link to the contracts between Boston, Brookline, and Cambridge with Alta Bike Share? or the Boston trip data? That I'd like to see, along with how many UNIQUE bike share users per day.
The facts are that out of almost 600 bikes available, peak weekday usage is about 11% in nice weather, up to about 19% on nice weekends. Much like off-peak MBTA usage, utilization is close to 0%, as would be expected.
