Oxford has launched oBike in the city centre to provide users with a convenient way of traveling around the city that is both sustainable and cost effective. This dockless bike sharing scheme is on an indefinite trail basis.
“We are extremely excited to launch oBike in Oxford,” says Haroon Khan, business development lead for oBike. “We see huge opportunity for oBike in Oxford as we cater to the needs of those looking to reduce cost of bike-ownership, have hassle-free bike rides, work towards a more sustainable way of transport while also being active,” continues Khan.
oBike are also partnering up with Oxford to invest in the local community long term and promote sustainability. They intend to share the data from the usage of their bikes to aid the improvement of future transport planning and thus continuing their collaboration with Oxford.
“We have been, and will be, working closely with the authorities, councils and other relevant stakeholders to improve cycling etiquette and encourage civic-mindedness in the city. oBike understands the importance of complying by government legalisation and we are fully committed to roll out the trial in an operational compliant way”, says Khan.
