The services should be embraced in the city's development strategy

There have been many discussions about whether bike-sharing companies should contribute toward the cost of managing public spaces. However, before we can talk about this, we have to determine whether the business model should be the pursuit of corporate profit or the provision of a public service.

I am in favor of the latter. Shared bikes are strongly characteristic of a public service, equal to buses and subways in many ways, far more than taxis.

Although the bikes are provided by businesses rather than local governments, they provide a service for the public and have been well received across all age groups.
