Question

【題目】China used to be called the “Kingdom of Bicycles”, but since then, cars have taken over the country. There are too many vehicles and pedestrians in the street now, so the roads are crowded nearly all the time, and even going a few kilometers can take up to an hour, which can explain the fact that it’s very difficult to travel across major Chinese cities.

Now, new apps that help people register and find bikes are being used more and more across cities like Beijing. The new apps that let people share bicycles are easing traffic, and reducing pollution. Cheng Li started using bike share services about six months ago. He said now he is using the car less and the bike more. For Zhang Jian, the bike share revolution makes him recollect the old days. “Now, when we’re riding home from work, especially in the evening, when it’s not rushed, it feels like we’re reliving the past,” Zhang said.

However, there is now a lot of competition among bike share providers because of their popularity. Some providers are trying to flood the streets with bikes to be more visible. Sometimes there are so many bikes that they completely block the sidewalks. This has become a problem for city governments. It is not uncommon for bike users to leave bikes in the middle of the street or on the sidewalk. This blocks cars and people in already crowded cities.

In Beijing’s southern district of Daxing, officials have been trying to fix the problem by seizing illegally parked bikes. VOA spoke to a woman who said, “Bike sharing is really convenient, but no one is taking care of the problem of illegally parked bikes.” Behind her were several thousand seized bikes.

Many people in China feel that bike shares are helping reduce the country’s transportation problems and polluted air. However, they also hope companies will do more to improve their service and avoid flooding the streets with bikes.
