Last Monday, we talked with GRF Seema about the future of Bike Sharing System. As a PhD student in urban planning, Seema has profound knowledge and rich experience in bike sharing system. She used to participate in the construction of bike sharing system in India. Before taking part in the table talk, I thought that bike sharing system is established by government. However, surprisingly, I realized that it actually originates in Amsterdam by some social activists. They would like to protect the environment.

Now Bike Sharing System has spread around the world. It definitely has many benefits, such as providing a convenient way for people to transfer between locations and locations with cheap cost. Especially nowadays provide a way for people in cities who do not have much time to exercise a great way to workout. However, it has problems too. For example, I know that in some cities, theft and violation problem of sharing bikes is commonly seen. Though that is not necessarily the case for everywhere. However, I still believe that with the maturity and development of the system, such problems will happen less and less in the future. Considering all the pros and cons of bike sharing system, I would like to believe we should try our best to develop it and finally it will become a popular way of transition around everywhere in the world.
