It’s Mobikes all over again! More than half of bikes on Manchester's newest hire scheme are now out of action
Well over half of the bikes in the city’s cycle hire scheme, part of Transport for Greater Manchester’s Bee Network, are now out of action following a rash of ‘wilful and malicious damage’, it has emerged.
Users of the network have been taking to social media in recent weeks complaining about the lack of bikes both in the city centre and the suburbs. Meanwhile, the online app for Beryl, the bike providers, shows most stands registering zero bikes across the city.
“The public can play their part too. You can be our eyes and ears and help us by reporting any misuse of the scheme. TfGM said it plans to take ‘an enforcement, engagement and education-led approach to tackling crime and antisocial behaviour. Targeted enforcement is planned against those involved in criminal activity’.
