In November, Transport for London (TFL) announced New steps to regulate electronic bicyclesBut the lack of legislation or authorities meant that most of the responsibility fell on the services of an electronic bicycle to act correctly. Now Lime Director General Wayne Ting announced an action plan of 20 million pounds ($ 24.8 million) to help with overflow and poor parking, Several publications Report, including UKTNField
“The reviews that we received from the inhabitants of London, public groups and elected officials are why we launch our London action plan,” Ting said. “We recognize the need for significant investments to accelerate changes and improve parking, starting with more financing for selected electronic bicycle parking, as well as additional operational potential and processes.”
Investments in the amount of £ 5 million (6.2 million US dollars) will lead to the creation of 2500 additional parking spaces for electronic bicycles. Part of the plan will also include the expansion of the Lime command on the street up to 400 people and the desire to move or collect about 4,000 bicycles per day. Plus Lime I intend to use improved AI to confirm proper parking at the end of the photos.
The action plan directly responds to the TFL statement at the end of last year. “The new policy indicates that TFL will consider the issue of taking measures against operators who allow their bicycles to park outside the appointed places on red routes and on TFL land, which include areas such as fakes at stations and bus garages.” The organization saidThe field “ultimately operators are responsible for ensuring that their bicycles are deployed and appropriately parked bicycles.”
As someone living in London, I can definitely testify that bicycles of lime are scattered everywhere around the city. Lime claims that 49 percent of 18 to 34 years in London rent an electronic bicycle weekly. The company also states that in 2024 the annual trip increased by 85 percent.
