In some systems, the bicycles arelocked and a cash deposit unlocks them. Deposits are returned when the bicycles are returned at different terminals.

Sometimes credit cards are charged.The intention of the service is to provide environmentally friendly and economical transportation in inner city areas.People who choose to cycle instead of drive help to reduce traffic congestion, air pollution, and noise pollution. They savemoney and get exercise, without worrying about their own bicycle being stolen.Bike-sharing emerged in Europe in the 1960s, but its wider use and development came in the mid-2000s thanks to theintroduction of information technology. As of June 2014, public bike systems were available in 50 countries on fivecontinents, including 712 cities.
