İsbike (styled as isbike) was a public bicycle sharing system serving Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey.
Launched in 2012, it provided 300 stations and 3000 bikes on both sides of the city.[citation needed]
In 2022, isbike founded a bicycling school, aimed to provide bicycle training to approximately 10 thousand people.[1]
The isbike system has been unavailable since at least late 2023, and some bicycles in storage have reportedly been scrapped.[2][3]
System components
[edit]The system uses Baksi smart biking system. The users can either get membership or use their credit cards to access the bikes.
Rates
[edit]All trips are charged, whether or not the user is a member.[4]
Maintenance
[edit]
isbike was included in the 2022 budget due to votes by city residents.[5] Due to maintenance bikes were not available in January 2022,[6] but later that year there were complaints about empty and closed stations, for example in Zeytinburnu.[7]
