Shared bikes solve the last mile transportation for youths

Besides subways and buses, shared bikes have become a fashion and low-carbon choice for youths when the travel distance is not long enough to take a bus or subway.

Number of active users of shared bikes surpassed 25 million in November, 2017, according to third-party data.

The data also shows that Ofo and Mobike ranked top two in the terms of monthly active users in the same month, and the market penetration rates of Ofo and Mobike were 5.34 percent and 5.33 percent respectively, meaning that more than five netizens installed Ofo and more than five installed Mobike per one million mobile internet users.

"The shared bike mainly solves the last kilometer dilemma, now I am used to riding a shared bike if it's inconvenient to take subway or buses," said Wang Chao, who was born in 1990s.
