Grab a YouBike and Go! 牽著微笑單車出發去!

  You have just finished a long day at school or work, so you are ready to go home and put your feet up. Fortunately, there is an MRT station not far from where you are, and you hop on a train and head off. Pretty soon, you arrive at your desired station and walk up to street level. However, this particular station is not close to your house at all, and it will take you about 20 minutes to walk home.
  Have no fear for YouBike is here! This is Taipei's public bicycle rental system, and it was created for just this situation. Launched in 2009, this bike sharing program has only grown in popularity and demand since it is affordable and green. There are currently close to 2,600 bicycles at 80 YouBike rental sites located throughout the city. Plus, plans are in the works to more than double the number of bicycles and sites by the end of 2013. The best part about YouBikes is that members get the first 30 minutes for free. What are you waiting for? It is time to grab your YouBike and go!



 

  你上課或上班忙了一整天,正準備回家休息。幸好,有個捷運站離你不遠,所以你就跳上一輛列車出發了。很快地,你到了想到的站並走上街面。然而,這一站離你家一點都不近,你得花二十分鐘左右走回家。
  不用怕,YouBike(微笑單車)在這裡!這是台北市公共自行車租借系統,正是被設計用來應付這種情況。這項單車共享計畫在 2009 年推出,由於它既不貴又環保,才愈來愈受歡迎,市場需求也與日俱增。現在全台北市八十個微笑單車的租借據點共有接近兩千六百輛自行車。此外,目前正籌劃在 2013 年底以前將增加一倍多的自行車和租借據點。微笑單車最棒之處在於會員前三十分鐘能免費騎乘。你還在等什麼?是時候牽著你的微笑單車出發去了。
