摩拜单车在英国被破坏 歪果人民素质差不多
China’s biggest public bike-hire operator, Mobike, picked Manchester for its first venture outside Asia–gifting Mancunians with 1,000 sleek bikes. Just a few weeks after the big launch, the firm says it is already seeing 4,000 journeys a day on the bikes, and the scheme is proving a “phenomenal success”. Although many Mancunians have taken to social media to praise the bikes, it seems, some in the city are yet to get to grips with the concept of bike sharing, and police have received a flurry of reports of Mobikes being abandoned or damaged – and being thrown in the canal. “We’ve received around 17 reports in relation to Mobikes since 29 June. This includes reports of abandoned bikes and criminal damage,” said Inspector Phil Spurgeon, from Greater Manchester Police. “We know the majority of people have been using the bikes respectfully and parking them in designated authorized areas. Sadly, a small minority are not doing this.” There have been reports of people damaging the bikes or hacking off the wheel locks in an attempt to steal them. A video has also emerged of youths throwing bricks at a supposedly “vandal proof” bike, which has airless tyres and no chain. They reportedly threatened to throw a man into the canal after he complained. Another issue is people failing to leave the bikes in a public place – and parking them up in their own homes and gardens. Mobike said there have been a “tiny number” of vandalism incidents in the context of the popularity of the scheme. It says it is receiving strong support from the police and local councils and will continue to work to ensure the scheme best serves communities and businesses in the city. |
