Case study on Circular Economy: PubliBike – More sustainable use through bike sharing

Initial situation:

At a time when urban areas are confronted with increasing traffic and environmental pollution, the promotion of sustainable transportation alternatives is becoming increasingly important.

Challenge:

Increasing traffic in cities leads to pollution and congestion. How can we offer an environmentally friendly and efficient alternative to traditional urban transportation?

Solution approach:

PubliBike, a company in Switzerland, provides an innovative solution to this challenge by offering a network of bike and e-bike rental stations in various cities. This allows citizens to quickly and easily access a bike to make their journey, promotes physical activity and reduces dependence on cars. The system is easy to use, with a user-friendly app that facilitates access to bikes and e-bikes at various locations.

Results:

By introducing this bike-sharing system, PubliBike has created a viable alternative to car traffic in urban areas. Users appreciate the convenience and simplicity of the system, which not only reduces the environmental impact but also promotes a healthier and more active way of traveling. The increasing number of stations and users shows that the PubliBike concept has been well received and is having a positive impact on urban mobility.
