We discuss planning methods for bike-sharing systems that operate a set of stations consisting of docks. Specific questions include decisions related to the number of docks to allocate to each station, how to rebalance the system by moving bikes to match demand, and expansion planning. We describe linear integer programming models, specially tailored optimization algorithms, and simulation methods. All of these methods rely on careful statistical analysis of bike-sharing data, which we also briefly review. Our discussion of the issues is informed by our 4-year collaboration with Citi Bike in New York City, and its parent company Motivate.
