-Current bikes available vs number of booked bikes per hour?
-Total average distance travelled by all commutes on weekdays? Weekends?
-Highest concentration of dropoff location/city for most bike dropoffs/pickups?
-Number of accidents vs total number of bikes?
I am honestly not "for" motorcycle taxis knowing how majority of the drivers for them behave. But I do have to say they currently fulfill a need.
As with the fact that I am not a frequent grab taxi rider, I do use it infrequently depending on situation and/or destination. For those that have to "suffer" through the daily regularity of a difficult commute, parking and fuel costs to and from work, I would have to say the current situation calls for a drastic measure.
Maybe the law could impose a time limit when it will be allowed. say 5 to 10 years max. depending on what is determined when we will have more public transport options such as subways, new trains, BRT? I don't know.
