Problem is, the trays on those collection stations is not cleared fast enough, esp during during peak hours.

Compared to the days when I worked at BK, there are already more ppl who return the trays, clear their own tables etc.

In fact I always try to clear myself whenever possible.
Got yelled at by the cleaner auntie when I returned a tray left by the previous occupant at West Coast hawker centre.

Has anyone noticed another bicycle rental company has just started after ofo, gobike and mobike? It is call gbike. Over the car free weekend at CBD, they seem like launching it with many polytechnic students riding it. Does anyone have any news on that company? Look like same group of ppl doing it as name almost the same.

Bike not as nice, but is another choice.

They should have a designated area to return the bike so that the system can register a terminate transaction. Right now user just left it in the middle of nowhere, should keep on charging them $$.

How do they regulate rentals n returns or charging of fees? This type of business model how to earn if people dump the rental bikes indiscriminately?

Its not like rental cars u meet the person n copy down their particulars n even this got people run road.

guessing its their app.
need a phone with gps to run their app.
when the bike is returned, the app will the location of the phone and register as the location of the bike.
guess when the bike is "returned" it will also be disabled or locked.
