Only in the
country of France will you encounter a
peer-to-peer network for their public transport. Dubbed as the Velo'v Grand Lyon, this kind of rent-a-scheme allows people to borrow bikes for a very affordable price. Once you have rented a bike, the person will not be charged money for the initial thirty minutes. What is so good about this rule is that most trips only take a few minutes or half hour. This means that those people who give back the bikes after a few minutes are not required to pay a single cent with the company.
For one hour, the person will only be charged 1 euro, which is equivalent to 1.20 dollars in the United States. To be able to be a member of this kind of service, a person just has to pay 150 euros or 180 dollars. He or she can pay this through cash or through
credit card.
In order to prevent theft, the users must give their personal information on the credit card with the company. In any case the bike is not returned, they can easily track down the person who rented it and apprehend him or her. Aside from that, the bike also has an alarm that is set off when someone tries to steal the vehicle from the peer-to-peer network of bikes.
