ON FRIDAY, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport published a draft regulation on shared bicycles for public opinions. While encouraging companies to provide shared bicycles in Beijing, the draft regulation also said the total number of shared bicycles should be controlled. Beijing News comments:

Shared bicycles are a good mode of transport for metropolises like Beijing. They not only make travel greener, but also help people travel the last mile more easily.

That's why shared bicycles have received a warm welcome in the market. As of now, almost 11 million users have registered on one app or another to use shared bicycles in Beijing, and the total number of shared bicycles in the metropolis is about 700,000.
