In the future, please use the share cycle as one of the local means of transportation, such as shopping, leisure use and commuting to school.

1. In response to the diverse needs of transportation such as local residents, we will improve the quality of life by securing means of transportation for daily life and increasing the options for transportation as a complement to public transportation functions.
2. Contribute to regional revitalization by increasing the number of transfers of city users.
3. Reduce environmental impact by shifting from private car movement to promote the formation of a decarbonized society.
4. By increasing the number of share cycle users, we will further raise awareness of traffic rules and the like when using bicycles through applications.
5. Improve business profitability through public-private partnerships to partially bear the burden of businesses such as public land usage fees at the full-scale implementation stage.
