The Lagos bike-share scheme is a service in which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals on a short-term basis for a token fee without incurring the costs and responsibilities associated with ownership.
The Director-General, Lagos State Office of Public-Private Partnership, Mr Ope George, said the scheme would reduce the emission of carbon monoxide being emitted by vehicles on the road if many people key into the initiative.
Mr George, represented by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Corporate Communications and Stakeholders Engagement, Mrs Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, said; “This scheme allows people to rent bikes from point A to B. Users are expected to use the barcode via the application to unlock the bicycles and ride to their intended destinations. The bikes possess locks and cargo baskets and they come with gearing, finders, and lights that make urban biking safe and enjoyable.”
He urged Lagosians to make use of the Lagos Bike Share Scheme in a bid to ensure a cleaner and safer Lagos.
