Bike sharing is an innovative approach to urban mobility, combining the convenience and flexibility of a private vehicle with the accessibility and reliability of public mass transit. Public bicycles are available on demand - fast and easy access for any trip around the city without the hassles presented by parking a private car or waiting on a transit timetable. When used in combination with other transportation systems, a shared bike program can reduce the travel time between transit stop and office and easily overcome the distance between residence and shopping center. The flexibility and freedom presented by a public bicycle program are perfectly suited for modern urban commutes.
Alta Bicycle Share designs, deploys, and manages bicycle share systems, enabling people to have all the advantages of owning a bike with few of the hassles.
