Public bicycle usage has repeatedly hit record highs since the public bicycle system was introduced to Suzhou ten years ago. According to the statistics from Suzhou urban management authorities, the city’s public bicycles were borrowed and returned for 470,000 times on February 21, 2021.
To ease the burden on the public bicycle system, Suzhou has got a new program for 2021!
●Public bicycle stations will be upgraded and go dockless
Out of the 3,204 public bicycle stations in Suzhou city proper, up to 2,900 were upgraded in January and February, 2021, and the rest 304 stations will finish the process by the end of March, when all the public bicycles in the city proper will be borrowed and returned through Bluetooth locks instead of docks.
It was planned that the universal accessibility of Yonganxing Public Bicycle Card (永安行借车卡) in Suzhou metropolitan areas would be realized in June, but this job has been done ahead of schedule so far. That is to say, local residents will be able to use one single card to borrow and return public bicycles in each and every district of Suzhou.
