suddenly, the many O-called Bikes the clogged a few bike stations in Zurich, the Limmat river, dirty and the sidewalks are misaligned, many of the residents of Zurich according to the rules for the new rental services. The city Council, but waved her hand. Liberal Zurich? Progressive Zurich? Wait And See, In The End, Zürich. The attitude of the former civil engineering head of Filippo leutenegger (FDP) represented dozens of times in front of journalists when they asked to licence obligations and fees for the station-less landlords.
O-Bike, this plague, this black sheep among the Free-Floaters, is now bankrupt and out of the city (virtually) disappeared. Are the E-Bikes of Smide and E-Scooters from various suppliers. Nevertheless, the city is responding now. 1. April apply for a Free-Floater for the first time, rules. Who rents more than 30 two-wheelers, needs a permit and must pay 10 francs per vehicle and month. Plus an annual inspection fee of 1500 Swiss francs.
This step is in principle correct. The Association took a private company public reason, in order to earn money, you must provide the city a framework that allows it, against the excesses. You must be able to collect fees and development taxes. Otherwise, the Public pays while the Private cash.
it is Questionable, however, is how the town of these regulations has been designed. Zurich’s government prides itself to be an ecological, advanced and digital. “Smart” wants to be the city. The new rules are but dust.
The city would use the data, and a flexible charging system can develop.
All the provider of the Free-Floating systems are data-driven companies. You are always aware of when and where your Companion stand for and which routes the user to. The city would have been able to develop the use and a flexible system of fees. A System that charged more, where more vehicles are parked. A System that takes into account when it comes to Ball of vehicles in the city centre, where the two wheels hinder according to the city passers-by and disrupt. Who turns off, however, the wheels on private land or in border zones, would have to pay less.
This would have two advantages. First of all, the vehicles for the users would be distributed in the city better, because otherwise additional costs are incurred if they are used little. Secondly, it would create an incentive for the provider to make agreements with companies, so that your wheels may be parked on private land. This would relieve the use of public reason.
the companies Are not willing to share data with the city to establish such a flexible System, it might insist the city is still on fixed fees.
The town has decided otherwise, now has a static pricing model and with Publibike, a stationary bike rental system. The acts have fallen out of time. (Tages-Anzeiger)
