The addition of e-bikes to the Bluebikes system has substantially increased my usage. The biggest issue I encounter is the availability of a nearby e-bike is very unpredictable, and that seems to be true throughout Boston/Cambridge/Somerville having visited a decent number of stations.

This works quite well, I'd just encourage reviewing the "Same display name" matches to manually pick which are the right ones — for the others in my case, the matches looked accurate enough to just follow all.
