Shared bicycles charge high in Shanghai, some are 6.5 yuan per hour

  In response to the price increase in Shanghai, Harbin Travel responded to a reporter from Chinanews.com: Recently, prices have not been adjusted in places including Shanghai and Beijing.

  Haro Travel said that in Beijing and other places, Haro bicycles still charge 1.5 yuan per 30 minutes.

In Shanghai, Haro’s bike charges 1.5 yuan for the first 15 minutes and then 1 yuan for every 15 minutes.

Calculated like this, it costs 4.5 yuan per hour.

Netizen: My speed has become faster after the price increase

  In response to the price increase of shared bicycles, some netizens complained: Do we have to treat us as leeks for green travel?

  "Good guy, since I noticed the price increase, my speed has increased and I have been promoted to an'old driver'."

Some netizens commented.

  It’s not difficult to find from netizens’ comments that bike-sharing charges vary from place to place. Some netizens even said, “We charge 2 yuan for 15 minutes in our county.”

  However, some bicycle-sharing companies currently deny the price increase, and some corporate staff explained to a reporter from Chinanews.com that “prices are adjusted dynamically, so there may be inconsistent price fluctuations.”

Pay attention to these situations, otherwise charge

  In fact, compared to the early fee of 1 yuan per hour, in addition to price increases, there are now some other charging rules for shared bicycles.

For example, at present, shared bicycles have planned operating areas in various places, and users who ride their bicycles outside the operating area need to pay a dispatch fee, and some are as high as 20 yuan per time.

Multiple parking violations will be charged for dispatching SMS screenshots.

  In fact, if you ride a shared bicycle outside the operating area, as long as you ride back to the operating area within a certain period of time (30 minutes on some platforms), this fee can be refunded.

  However, a user told a reporter from Chinanews.com, “It’s a special pit, so I parked my bike outside the operating area for 10 minutes. But when I went back, I found that the car was gone, but it was actually pulled away by the platform. , So as long as the bicycle is parked in the white area (non-operating area), it is basically waiting to pay."

  In addition, even in the operating area, some shared bicycles have electronic fences. If the shared bicycles are parked outside the electronic fence, the user will automatically open the car after closing the lock. Some users reported that they walked away without paying attention, and violated the rules several times. Dispatch fee was charged.
