i fell in love with the simplicity as a tourist :)
And the only price you had to pay was a fee and your privacy. @malmostad should have been protecting the latter from Clear Channel.
other types of income without me paing three times as much? Pls forward to @malmostad !
Yes. If we feel it’s an important service for the commons, we can part-subsidise it from the commons.
your turn @malmostad :)
How do they use it against you? Because i can see only the benefits, like they know where to put new lanes....
Its @clearchannel they use everything against us. Like @Facebook and @Google
There are many aspects of what means against us, and probably for each means something different. I'm ok to use mine
Not just about you. When you use Gmail, you expose everyone who emails you to surveillance by Google also.
Aral is exactly right. It's NOT about you alone! It's about all of us.pic.twitter.com/O1nZzGODnt
1. Named "{Cityname} by Bike" could imply that it's state run, they should be named "Clear Channel Bike Malmo" or something like that
2. If it is a @malmostad contract, shouldn't it take into account the privacy and anonymity of users? Has @Datainspektion gave an OK?
similar in Oslo. CC has the contract with the municipality.
Helsinki has a bike rental system run by the regional transport company. There are APIs http://dev.hsl.fi/ about what it collect.
In Antwerpen, Belgium the same story. The Public Bike System (although great) is completely run by CC.
3. It would be interesting if bike sharing was run by transit authorities or municipalities or non-profits, there must be some.
Most of the time: the city renews the deal with Clear Channel or JCDecaux for their billboards → the ad co “offers” city bikes…
Interesting, I guess you have login, use an app, and provide I'd details to "unlock" the bikes right?
Exactly! In some cities you can even link it to your city transports card… -_-
in theory, since powered billboards r all over they can catch your phone's wifi MAC address & correlate from the bike app
