Public transit system is the pulse of urban life. City planners are seeking
solutions to promote public transit due to insufficient capacity of the road
network and related environmental problems. Cycling, as one of the
energy efficient transport modes, has high potential to improve the
livability and sustainability of the city. Over the past decade, a significant
number of bike sharing programs have emerged due to the benefits that
cycling brings. Bike-sharing systems improve the accessibility and
connectivity to other public transit, as well as encouraging citizens to
participate in a healthy activity.
The cold climate and characteristic landscape forms a unique cycling
culture in Edmonton. The purpose of this thesis is to propose a possible
way of conducting a bike share scheme in the city of Edmonton. An
internet-based bike sharing solution is introduced, including area plan,
station and bicycle design, service design and marketing strategy. -
