New Bubi: only 15 percent of users have returned since the shutdown
The BKK reported mixed results for the new Bubi bike-sharing system, with fewer registered users but increased rentals. Despite a 25% drop in active users compared to the previous system, total rentals increased by 11%. The price hike for monthly passes led to a shift towards pay-per-use options. Users reported issues with GPS tracking and bike mechanics, prompting BKK to implement temporary measures and ongoing improvements. The service faced delays, resulting in penalties for the provider, which will be used to acquire more bikes.
