Ofo's European experience
summary
Ofo claims rapid scaling from a 2014 campus project to over 10 million bikes mainly in China, 32 million trips a day and 15 million daily users, with 50,000 daily international rides so far. Operations combine GPS tracking, geofencing and incentives to suggest parking, credit-score penalties, and a maintenance app that sends rebalancing tasks to local teams; theft and clustering fall as density and education rise, and data is shared only aggregated for city planning.
