I had such a high hope when they brought oBike to Kuala lumpur in July last year and thinking maybe, just maybe, people will depend less on using cars.
Almost 6 months have passed and I observed the only people who are still using these bikes are mostly immigrant workers and some old men from Pudu area and most of the locks were forcefully removed.
Since these bikes are not made of high-quality materials, they don't last long and once it was broken, they were disposed of randomly and I am not surprised they would just go to steal another one. Right now, all that left is the city is full of 'bike corpses' and the company doesn't seem like doing a good job cleaning them.
Few months ago, I saw someone left a stolen bike in ICC Pudu. I took a picture of the barcode and sent a note to oBike to inform them about it so they can go over and take it back. However, they never bothered to reply to my email and until last week, the bike is still there.
It's pretty upsetting to see this city is full of selfish people and these people just don't deserve nice things.
What can we do about this phenomenon?
