Shared bikes banned from military areas
SHARED bikes were officially banned from military areas in Beijing as of yesterday.
The off-limits zones include restricted military areas, hospitals, residential areas and sanitariums directed by the army in the capital.
“Bike sharing has brought new problems to the management of military areas, such as illegal parking and entering and exiting without approval,” said an officer from the department of the Central Military Commission.
“The army’s image would be tainted once misuse like bike refitting or damage is found in military areas.
The Ministry of Transport, on Monday, released draft rules requiring local governments to strengthen oversight of the sector.
Bike-sharing services took off in Chinese cities in the past two years. They allows riders to hire bikes for about one yuan (15 US cents) per hour via a mobile app, and drop them off for the next user.
The service has reduced traffic congestion and cut auto emissions, but haphazardly parked bikes often block sidewalks, causing complaints.
There were 18.9 million users of shared bicycles nationwide at the end of 2016.
The number is expected to hit 50 million by the end of this year, according to the China E-Commerce Research Center.
