Great news! Is there a way to get the system data that feeds into Google Maps to remove these ghost stations? I’ve had folks think the Communipaw one in particular is real and try to stay on the train after Liberty State Park. Messaging Google for removal doesn’t seem to get anywhere.

I wanted to add to this one. 1) Some people have bad taste and it’s showing in the comments. The build on the right is objectively bad. 2) Here’s some great examples of simple boxes that are brand new from my neighborhood. And these don’t showcase the well done modernist ones.

I guess @citibikenyc.bsky.social listened too well! Zero parking available at all the stations below.

Meanwhile over in Communipaw it’s the exact opposite. The stations either never have bikes or have very few. System definitely needs some better management. @citibikenyc.bsky.social

Yeah it’s a horrible pedestrian experience all around. There’s no stairs or ramp to the parking lot from Maple street on the opposite side. Most folks walk up a dirt desire path. The alternative is walking all the way around.
