Commentary: Goodbye SG Bike, farewell to bike-sharing? It doesn’t need to be

Another option gap is brought on by the absence of positive societal influence. Cycling is still far from being a cultural norm today, and for many people it is probably more of a form of recreation than a form of transportation.

How can we increase the chances of bike-sharing becoming a viable alternative, especially now that there are fewer scooters than earlier? How can we overcome the difficulty of keeping bicycle out of sight but not out of thinking?

The final piece of the puzzle is determination. Benefits of bike-sharing systems around the world are a promise, as are their affordability and benefits for both earliest- and last-mile travel.

These dreams are secondary to more pressing issues like getting to work on day and in style for the majority of Singaporeans.

Some people, without a doubt, take the message of conservation or consider the health benefits of cycling for themselves. Chances are, nevertheless, they already possess bikes.

There is little to no incentive to travel that similar range on a bike-share for someone who already cycles, cycles, or commutes on a specific bicycle.

What might inspire current cyclists to acquire bike-sharing? And do n’t you want non-cyclists to take it into account when traveling, especially for first- and last-mile trips?
