不堪偷盗破坏 香港品牌共享单车退出法国
Bike-sharing startup GoBee is giving up French market following a welter of thefts and vandalism.
由于单车遭到大规模偷盗及蓄意破坏,共享单车初创企业Gobee退出了法国市场。"Over the months of December and January, the mass destruction of our fleet has become the new entertainment of underaged individuals," said the Hong Kong-headquartered service, which had rolled out 2,000 two-wheelers in Paris alone and had some 150,000 users across France.
这家总部位于香港的公司表示:“去年12月和今年1月,对我们单车的大规模破坏成为了很多未成年人的新娱乐活动。”该公司仅在巴黎就推出了2000辆单车,在全法拥有约15万名用户。The company said that "more than 1,000 bikes" had been stolen and almost 3,400 damaged nationwide, with almost 300 complaints filed to police and 6,500 repairs needed.
该公司表示,全法“超过1000辆单车”被盗,近3400辆单车被破坏,警方收到近300宗投诉,6500辆单车需要维修。
Gobee had already thrown in the towel in the northern cities of Lille and Reims as well as Belgian capital Brussels for the same reason.
出于同样的原因,Gobee单车已经在法国北方城市里尔、兰斯以及比利时首都布鲁塞尔承认了“失败”。The bright green bicycles were located via an app and hired for 50 cents an hour by swiping a barcode to open the safety lock.
这些亮绿色的自行车是通过一个应用程序定位的,可以通过刷条形码来打开安全锁,每小时收费50分。The user, who paid a 13 pounds deposit, could then leave the bike anywhere.
支付13英镑押金的用户,可以将自行车停在任何地点。Gobee said: "It was sad and disappointing to realise that a few individuals could ruin such a beautiful and promising project. We had to come to the conclusion that it could not be viable and there was no other choice for us than shutting down, nationwide."
Gobee单车表示:“一些人毁掉了一个如此出色而有前途的项目,这让人感到悲哀、失望。我们不得不得出这样的结论,那就是该项目是不可行的,我们没有其他选择,只能在全国范围内停止。”
