Origin

To create a better and greener life in Taipei City , the Taipei City Government partnered with GIANT to set up the "YouBike" public commuter bicycle rental system.

Cycling is now very popular around the world and has become the symbol of an advanced, civilized and environmentally friendly city. Thanks to the strong support of local bicycle makers and the movie Island Etude , the cycling population in Taiwan has grown significantly among all age groups.

YouBike uses a completely automated electronic management system to allow bicycles to be rented and returned at any location. It is intended to span the "last mile" in public transportation systems. This will hopefully encourage more people to use public transport and forge a new Taipei commuter culture that is also environmentally friendly and energy saving.

Installation

• Automated electronic public bicycle rental station: 11 locations
• RFID-enabled YouBike parking: 718 spaces
• YouBike bicycles: 500 bicycles
• YouBike Service Center: 1 location

Our Vision

• Promote Taipei City's image as an eco-friendly international metropolis
• Create new tourism opportunities in Taipei
• Improve residential quality of life and citizen satisfaction
• Reduce the use of cars and motorcycles to improve air quality and transportation
• Encourage people to take up cycling
• Transform Taipei into Taiwan's capital of cycling
