Bike-sharing: oBike, Ofo, or Mobike?

[Jman888]

i'll need to take a closer look again ... it does appear to be able to look through the tires ...

 

is mobike and obike the same ?

Oops it was mobike not obike

 

mobike has more fleet around my area and in town, agree with the other bro say people abuse ofo more. Last week I took a walk from clementi to Jurong East, along the way many ofo kena abused, even if it was beside other share bike.

it started with good intention. due to poor control by authority, it ended a nuisance

Yes, but 180 days will be $4.50 for OFO.. 

I also notice vandals mostly target OFO bike.. 

So there is another promotion for Ofo which pay $4.50 for 180 days ah? True, dont know why Ofo bikes always got vandalise?

it's $3 on fave (ex-Groupon)

Imho,my bike is better.

Though they mean well,but as people here have shared,they do not plan their logistics well.

For example, bicycle parking lots are exposed to sun and rain.Any sane person would know that this is a fast way to render their bikes unusuable by rusting of steel frame (iron part)

Moreover logistics are horrible.

Then you'll see bicycles in drains,in mud,or maybe covered in shit,and stinks.

Are you sure you want to use them,in turn soiling yourself?

nothing to do with the "authority" ... it all boils down to the people using / abusing it.

 

blame the player, not the game.

I agreed, it is the end-user problem, if every user can take care of the bike, such bike scheme is very beneficial for everyone. Too bad i dont know whats wrong with the people here? All lack of social graciousness.

Cant be la, think the enforcers eyes paste stamp lo. 

 

This is so badly implemented isnt it.

 

Why would the user be getting away scot-free and the Bike sharing has to bear the cost?

 

Would it not be a better way to use the bike ID / location finder of the last user and reverse the cost to the idiot who park it any old how as he / she please?

 

This is just not a sustainable way of making a good incentive into a bane for society.

Maybe you are right, if those car sharing scheme can deter user to abuse the car, why cant those bike companies do the same?!

your level would be upgraded from 2fast2furious to GOD level if you knew ...

 

but unfortunately, as the saying goes, one type of rice, hundred type of people.

 

sometimes I also feel sad for the bikes being thrown all over the place ...

 

personally, I am hoping that this bike-sharing thing will be stopped ... as the people do not deserve it.

 

car sharing got lots of $$ liabilities ... that's why (most) users are afraid to abuse it .... if they levy similar liabilities for bicycles, then maybe the users will start to take care of the bicycles too.

My level would be upgrade to what ah? I dont know le? 

 

Anyway, these people indeed do not deserve such a bike scheme since they do not know how to take care and use the bike properly. Due to too many inconsiderate people, others people who know how to take care of bike also suffer.

sorry i feel differently. if authority did not issue permit, they cannot proceed. before issusing permit, did they consider today problems?

If authority here can be so smart in foresee problems, then there would not be so many problems in sg liao.

authority issue driving license to a lot of drivers ... but they do not expect the drivers to drive their cars into other cars and people too ... we can't say that langgah-ing is part and parcel of driving and prohibit it ?

 

like you said ... it started with a good intention ... but alas, the irresponsible users simply made it bad for everyone else.

 

but I would applaud the businesses that they are still doing it - even when things are so negative.

agree, i can see the usage is getting higher, especially at industrial areas. Nowadays can also see office people ride from mrt to office, student ride from mrt station to school.

 

They have revised the clause to impose higher penalty to operators who did not enforce higher penalty on users and not maintaining and manage their bikes in proper order.

i am not sure i can agree with that argument. it is for you to digest. minimun they should consider suddenly so many bikes, where to park and how to control. didnt we have a similar scheme earlier that have designated parking bays that failed?

Usage is getting higher because they offered lots of free usage lo. So people would take advantage of it and use the bikes. Esp foreigner workers, always see them ride on those bikes. Lol.
