Thousands of ofo shared bikes appeared in Yichang city after being officially announced to enter Yichang on April 9th. It’s reported that the “little yellow bikes” early put into the market were mainly distributed in the CBD, Yiling Square, Shuiyue Mall, Wanda, Riverside Green Road, Yiling Yangtze River Bridge and Times Square.

　　Unlike the Yichang public bicycles which were previously brought into service, ofo shared bikes are much more convenient for citizens to park or use without a fixed parking pile. It’s known that if people need to use the “yellow bikes”, they can follow the official account of ofo bikes on their phones or open the specific ofo APP. After the register and login, they can click the button “use the bike now” and receive the password by scanning a two-dimensional code on the bike. Then citizens can reenter the APP, click “finish the trip” and pay the rent after reaching their destinations. The final step is that they should lock the bike and scramble the password.

　　It’s learned that the rent of the “little yellow bikes” is ￥1 yuan per hour for each with a deposit of ￥99 yuan. For those who ride less than an hour will be charged with 1 hour fee. The ofo shared bikes will be free every Friday, Saturday and Sunday this month since they just entered the Yichang market.(Reporters: Chen Xi, Ye Xiaomei)
