It’s official: Alta Bicycle Share, the company that runs Citi Bike, has a new owner, an infusion of cash, and a fresh face at the top — longtime transit executive Jay Walder.
What about the other Alta bike-share cities? “Look, it’s the first day for me. We don’t have all the answers,” Walder said. “Arrangements in each city are a little bit different.” Walder said he will be traveling to each of the cities where Alta does business to work out a plan for each system with local transportation officials.
