bicycle sharing programs

Bicycle sharing programs provide public access to bicycles through a network of stations or dockless systems, allowing users to rent bikes for short trips. Typically, individuals use a membership or pay-per-ride fee via a mobile app or kiosk. These programs promote eco-friendly, healthy, and convenient transportation within cities, helping reduce traffic congestion and pollution. After completing a ride, bikes are usually returned to designated stations or left within designated areas for others to use. They are an affordable and flexible alternative to private cycling and motorized transport, encouraging sustainable urban mobility.
