NOW OPERATIONAL:
Dublin City plans to make 450 bicycles publicly available from 40 locations around the city in a scheme similar to that which exists in Paris and operated in conjunction with the same private partner – outdoor advertising company JC Decaux.
People will be able to pick up a bike whenever they need it and drop it back to any of the locations when they are done. A Smart-card system will handle issues like deposits and payment. Any fee will be very modest – the plan is to make them as freely available as possible.
The network will be monitored and distribution teams will maintain and move bikes around the city depending on demand and supply.
The network of stations will extend from the Mater Hospital in the north to Grand Canal in the south and from Smithfield in the west to the IFSC and North Docklands in the east.
Ground works on the installation of the bike stations began early 2009 and the bike scheme will be fully operational by September 13th.
