The Shanghai Metro Operation Co., Ltd. (SMOC) offered a bike rental service recently, in a bid to promote "Subway + bicycle" green travel pattern.
This service is first on trial at the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park station of Shanghai subway line 2. As long as citizens present their identity cards and pay 150 yuan to the bicycle rental outlets of the subway station, they will get a membership annual card.
The short-term lease is encouraged. The longer time one uses it, the more bicycle rental fee he will pay. Renting a bicycle for one hour costs one yuan, then the fee will increase in the following hours, but it will not go beyond 3 yuan. It is free if the rental duration is less than half an hour.
