I have been trying bike-sharing service in Rome and I think it is quite a good idea. There are some weak points in the process though and I'd like to ask if you guys know how other contexts solved them.
Some details about the service in Rome (www.roma-n-bike.com): 1. You get a refillable card linked to an online account 2. Some places in the center have stations wre you can get a bike. You have to use your card to get one. 3. Costs: 0,5 euro cent per half an hour These are the issues I have encountered: - I took a bike with a flat tire - Out-of-order stations would not allow me to leave the bike and I had to pay in the meanwhile - Some offices had ran out of subscription cards... ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
