Trips on Brisbane’s city cycles have increased 35 per cent in the past year with more than 2,000 trips taken each day according to recent data.
Council’s public and active transport chairman Adrian Schrinner says a change to the memberships as well as the visibility of the bikes contributed to the recent increase in usage.
The council has signed a 20 year contract with JCDecaux with bikes progressively replaced and new technology to allow the bikes to be tracked could be considered.
