Bike Sharing Scheme Announced For Limerick
Public bicycle sharing is to be introduced in Limerick city centre by autumn next year.
The Public Bicycle Share Scheme will see 23 docking stations housing 400 individual bicycle docks across the city, in an initiative styled on a similar scheme launched in Dublin in 2009.
The capital's public bike scheme has so far recorded more than three million journeys since its launch.
Pat O'Neill, Project Manager, Limerick Smarter Travel said: "Following the success of the Public Bicycle Share Schemes in Dublin, the NTA has initiated the introduction of similar schemes in the regional cities of Cork, Limerick and Galway. We are delighted to work with the NTA on the roll-out of this project which aims to develop an environmentally-friendly means of public transport that is healthy, relatively inexpensive, brings jobs closer to where people live, and ensures an improved quality of life in the City's natural and built environment."
Mr O'Neill continued: "The NTA has recently commenced the Tender process for the award of a contract to supply, install, operate and maintain the Public Bicycle Share Scheme for Limerick City Centre. Under the proposed scheme, 200 bicycles will be deployed in the city at 23 Docking Stations and will be redistributed throughout the city during the day to cater for demand by ensuring that there are both sufficient vacant Docks to dock Bicycles and sufficient Bicycles at each Docking Station."
