Shanghai Pudong Brings Public Bicycles into Public Transport Construction System

Recently, as the first domestic trial of the Shanghai Zhangjiang public bicycle system, the service network was expanded from 50 to 100 vehicles and 1,900 vehicles. On March 23, the “News Evening News” reporter learned from the project organizer that the number of card issuance points will be increased from 1 to 4 in the near future. After the first batch of 10,000 cards are issued free of charge, the “last mile” problem for the citizens of Zhangjiang will be solved. Effectively resolved.

In 2008, Shanghai Pudong took Zhangjiang as a pilot and launched the public bicycle rental service project in China. As long as the user spends 450 yuan (of which 300 yuan is a deposit) to open a public bicycle convenience card, they can enjoy the rental service. The distribution of outlets is too small, and renting is inconvenient. Vehicles are not enough. When the peak hours are in short supply, the cost is relatively expensive and the card cannot be used several times. After the completion of the project, the expected results have not been achieved. “This time we learn from the successful operation of Hangzhou and Minhang and improve the related construction and operation modes. Under the guidance of the traffic department of Pudong New Area, we have built 100 outlets, 2000 lock piles and 1,900 bicycles.” Gong Lan, deputy director of the Public Bicycle Division, said. The 100 public bicycle outlets can all be "passed through repatriation." They include rail transit to Zhangjiang Hi-tech Station, Pudong Software Park, electricity gathering port, bank card center and other places, basically covering bus interchange hubs, park enterprises, and talented apartments. Supermarket stores and other important facilities.

It is understood that Shanghai Pudong this year set out from the "Let the people travel more easily," and officially incorporated public bicycles into the public transportation construction system, adopting the "government unified planning, corporate construction and operation" approach. The relevant person in charge of the New District Construction and Trade Commission stated that Pudong will first implement a three-month trial in Zhangjiang, and gradually promote it after gaining experience.
