Bicycle Rental Systems
Its public bicycle rental systems are each financed by a local advertising operator in return for the cities signing over a 10-year licence to exploit city-wide billboards. This is a soft dollar form of transit media. The overall scheme is called Cyclocity by the company, but each city's system is branded under an individual name.
The cities that have implemented its bicycle rental systems are listed below.
