不堪偷盜破壞 香港品牌共享單車退出法國

Bike-sharing startup GoBee is giving up French market following a welter of thefts and vandalism.

由於單車遭到大規模偷盜及蓄意破壞，共享單車初創企業Gobee退出了法國市場。

"Over the months of December and January, the mass destruction of our fleet has become the new entertainment of underaged individuals," said the Hong Kong-headquartered service, which had rolled out 2,000 two-wheelers in Paris alone and had some 150,000 users across France.

這家總部位於香港的公司表示：“去年12月和今年1月，對我們單車的大規模破壞成爲了很多未成年人的新娛樂活動。”該公司僅在巴黎就推出了2000輛單車，在全法擁有約15萬名用戶。

The company said that "more than 1,000 bikes" had been stolen and almost 3,400 damaged nationwide, with almost 300 complaints filed to police and 6,500 repairs needed.

該公司表示，全法“超過1000輛單車”被盜，近3400輛單車被破壞，警方收到近300宗投訴，6500輛單車需要維修。

Gobee had already thrown in the towel in the northern cities of Lille and Reims as well as Belgian capital Brussels for the same reason.

出於同樣的原因，Gobee單車已經在法國北方城市裏爾、蘭斯以及比利時首都布魯塞爾承認了“失敗”。

The bright green bicycles were located via an app and hired for 50 cents an hour by swiping a barcode to open the safety lock.

這些亮綠色的自行車是通過一個應用程序定位的，可以通過刷條形碼來打開安全鎖，每小時收費50分。

The user, who paid a 13 pounds deposit, could then leave the bike anywhere.

支付13英鎊押金的用戶，可以將自行車停在任何地點。

Gobee said: "It was sad and disappointing to realise that a few individuals could ruin such a beautiful and promising project. We had to come to the conclusion that it could not be viable and there was no other choice for us than shutting down, nationwide."

Gobee單車表示：“一些人毀掉了一個如此出色而有前途的項目，這讓人感到悲哀、失望。我們不得不得出這樣的結論，那就是該項目是不可行的，我們沒有其他選擇，只能在全國範圍內停止。”
