HCM City launches public bicycle rental service in city centre

HCM CITY — HCM City has launched a public bicycle rental service in the District  一 to encourage an alternative, greener method of transportation in the southern metropolis.

The Trí Nam Group, investor in the project, has set up  四 三 bike rental spots in District  一 near areas of interest such as tourist sites, parks and bus stops. Around  四00 bikes are available.

To rent a bike, locals download the TNGO mobile application and set up accounts. The app can be used to unlock a bike at any rental spot by scanning the QR code.

Locals can freely use the bikes to travel around the city, and lock and unlock them with the app. Bikes can also be returned at any rental spot in the district.

Rentals can be paid through bank transfer, credit card or direct deposit via the app.

Prices start at VNĐ 五,000 for  三0 minutes, with an hour costing VNĐ 一0,000 (US$0. 四 四). Rides are free for the first  一 五 minutes.

The app, in addition to helping users find the nearest bike rental spot, also keeps track of data such as kilometres travelled, calories burned, and the amount of carbon emissions a user has cut down by not using other vehicles.

Many locals were excited to try out the city’s new public service recently. Lương Uyển Ân, a resident in District  一 一, told Việt Nam News that "the bike is great for exercising, and the app is easy to use".

Lê Thị Mỹ Trang, a Thủ Đức City resident, is interested because it is a convenient way to get around and is eco-friendly.

“Air pollution is a big problem in large cities. I think this can act as a stepping stone for other regions to adopt this model.”

Many locals said they plan to use this service more in the future.
