Instead of renting an uber&co bikes (companies which use public infrastructure yet pay virtually no local tax) you'd rent state owned bikes, parked on official bike parkings. It could be part of your existing public transportation package &c.

It really doesn't take a genius to see how the current mayhem could be improved on so many levels

France already has that in all of the major cities. The subscription is heavily subsidised if you are poor.

This is the next step when you already have that.
