Citi Bike recorded over 24,000 rides on Tuesday, a day after this week's snowstorm ended — when most bikes across NYC were still snowed into docks. With the price of Citi Bike continuing to outpace inflation *and* the increase in subway fare, Lyft owes its customers more.

The Chambers J/Z station is one of the oldest stations in New York City's transit system — and it doesn't look like it's been touched by the MTA since it was built. But thanks to congestion pricing, it's getting a huge upgrade, reports Good Idea Dave.
