Yeah, I am a bit sad to see those Ofo, limebike, Bird going all out in the streets, they are trying to outspend each other for the winner to raise the price. I just want a sustainable shared transportation system.


Ofo has been free to use for many months now, at least in Dallas. Are they counting on the competitors to all fold and leave them the sole market owner? Such weird economics!


1. Yep, they're funded by Alibaba and they've been buying out bankrupted bikeshare companies.

2. Alibaba and Tencent both own competing bikeshare services, so it's a cash-burning contest.


Yeah, here in Scottsdale too, I think they are way bigger and way older than all the others, I guess they have more killing power.
