Segways at BART station to be available for check-out
The Pleasant Hill BART station will become a test site for multimodal transportation. The famous Segway standing scooter will be available at the station in the spring as part of a test program to see if riders will use the devices. The more time-tested (and cheaper) technology of the bicycle will also be available, as will a new car-sharing program.
Funding for the programs seems to come from a hodgepodge of grants; BART has contributed land but otherwise does not seem to be directly involved.

I wonder how they will keep people from stealing them – require registration, charge a deposit, what? I remember previous attempts at bike sharing have failed elsewhere because people never returned the bikes – let alone thousand-plus-dollar Segways.
