Even with some of them being in constant use, the math still doesn't work out.

Pricing for Bird looks like $1 to unlock and $.15 / minute to ride. I think it's not unrealistic to see utilization of at least 5 rides per day for $5 of revenue + average of 15 minutes per ride for the other $11 to get to $16 / day.

It's likely that there's a few that are much more highly utilized to balance out those that are not utilized at all.
