PBSC, the leading global provider of bike sharing solutions and a pioneer in sustainable urban mobility, has begun the rollout of an initial network of 
2,600 bicycles and 260 solar-powered stations to be distributed throughout São Paulo.
São Paulo, a pioneer city in various fronts and an exceptionally vibrant cultural and economic capital, was one of the first South American cities to implement a large-scale bike sharing network as part of its vision for ultra-modern and interconnected urban mobility. Today, this prosperous city enters a new era with Itaú Unibanco, tembici, and PBSC Urban Solutions – a global leader in sustainable mobility solutions – taking its project into a completely new technological era.
This rollout represents the second and most significant milestone of a national initiative to bring the most modern bike sharing experience to tens of millions of Brazilians in the largest cities of the country. The reception to the new system has been extremely positive so far; Brazilians are thrilled to receive efficient, reliable, proven, and safe bike sharing technology for their daily commutes.
According to Sérgio Avelleda, Municipal Secretary of Mobility and Transport of São Paulo, the new bike sharing program benefits mobility in all regions of the city of São Paulo.
“The new bike sharing program will promote the use of bicycles with multiple operators, with access through the ‘Bilhete Único’ (unified transport fare of São Paulo), and the addition of bicycles in the peripheral regions of the city. This is a very successful public policy,” said Sérgio Avelleda.
