Abstract

Recently, traffic problem like viruses spread to small and medium-sized cities in China. The bicycle transportation plays a unique role in the process of alleviating traffic congestion and promoting the development of green transportation. Bicycle transportation is a main part of urban slow traffic system and it has outstanding advantages in mid-and-short travels for solving the traffic problem by connecting bus stops and starting points. And it is also a kind of transportation tool that can keep one's physical health. The urban bicycle transportation has become a mainstream concept for fashion, green, environment friendly, sports and health in China.

This paper, on the basis of summarizing public bicycle system at home and abroad, stresses on the analysis of three typical cases for public bicycle system in Qingzhou, Yantai, and Zaozhuang of Shandong, and discusses the operating modes, service features, implementation effects and existing problems in these three public bicycle systems to provide candidate solutions to deploy the public bicycle systems in the medium and small cities.
