China’s biggest public bike-hire operator, Mobike, picked Manchester for its first venture outside Asia–gifting Mancunians with 1,000 sleek bikes. Just a few weeks after the big launch, the firm says it is already seeing 4,000 journeys a day on the bikes, and the scheme is proving a “phenomenal success”. 中国最大的公共租车运营商摩拜单车选择了曼彻斯特作为其亚洲以外的第一个经营项目试点,并在曼彻斯特投放了1000辆时髦的自行车。就在这次大规模市场投放活动的几周后,该公司表示每天骑摩拜单车出行的旅程已达4000人次,这一项目取得了“巨大的成功”。 Although many Mancunians have taken to social media to praise the bikes, it seems, some in the city are yet to get to grips with the concept of bike sharing, and police have received a flurry of reports of Mobikes being abandoned or damaged – and being thrown in the canal. 虽然许多曼彻斯特人都在社交媒体上称赞摩拜单车,然而,这个城市的部分人似乎并不明白单车共享的概念,而且警察收到了一连串有关摩拜单车被丢弃或被破坏,亦或是被扔进运河里的举报。 |
