BikeTown for All Programm skaliert zurück, um Kosten einzudämmen

Das BikeTown for All Programm, das im Jahr 2017 gestartet wurde, hat seitdem einen exponentiellen Wachstum erlebt. Allerdings hat sich nun die Initiative dazu entschlossen, das Programm zurückzufahren, um die Kosten im Zaum zu halten.

Ursprünglich war das Ziel des Programms, preiswerte Fahrräder für einkommensschwache Menschen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Doch aufgrund des unerwartet großen Interesses musste das Programm schnell erweitert werden, um mit der Nachfrage Schritt zu halten.

Nun entschieden sich die Verantwortlichen dazu, wieder zum Ursprungskonzept zurückzukehren und das Programm zu skalieren, um die finanziellen Belastungen zu reduzieren. Dies könnte bedeuten, dass nicht mehr so viele Fahrräder zur Verfügung stehen oder die Auswahl an Standorten eingeschränkt wird.

Dennoch betonen die Organisatoren, dass das BikeTown for All Programm weiterhin bestehen wird und sich weiterhin für eine umweltfreundliche und erschwingliche Mobilität in der Stadt einsetzen wird.
