Bicing.com, a collapsed transport service in Barcelona
3 08 2007
Bicing.com is the new transport service running in Barcelona. If you pay 24€ per year, you are able to take a bike and use it during have an hour. There is a problem: That service has been Too much successful. That easy system has been collapsed because the local government calculated for 50,000 users in a year, the number has been of 100,000 in four months.
The number of people annoy is very high with this transport system. this is because Bicing.com doesn’t provide enough bikes, but also because Barcelona is not ready to have this amount of bikers, and also because many of the new bikers don’t know to ride bike. You should think that Bicing.com has been used 1,000,000 times in four months.
There are plenty of bloggers talking about the problems of Bicing.com:
