Bicycles
Internet-based bike-sharing services entered the city in October 2016 and then saw its rapid development. At present, the major brands operating in the city's public-share bicycles market are Mobike and ofo, with Hellobike still in the pilot operation stage.
For years, Shenzhen has been pushing for the integration of rail, bus and bicycle transport networks to build itself into a national model for a "public transport metropolis." Through this, the city has made remarkable progress in public transportation. As of now, public transportation handles 11.84 million trips daily. Bicycle transport as an extension of and supplement to public transportation is of great significance in satisfying citizens' short- and medium-distance transport needs as well as alleviating traffic congestion. Currently, the city boasts about 2.5 million bicycle trips per day, of which about 0.9 million can be attributed to Internet-based bike-sharing services.
