Why you should care
Bike-share systems help take cars off city roads while extending and complementing other modes of public transportation. The success of bike-share schemes largely rests on making them easy to use. Spotcycle provides a data platform that cities can adopt to make commutes hassle-free, which in turn encourages repeated use of their bike-share systems. This makes Spotcycle a practical solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, gridlock and smog in cities around the world.
