Another mode of public transportation that can be used to go around the city is shared bicycles. The anticipated synergy effect will be realized when combined with existing bus transportation. "Moving around Písek will be more efficient, time and location variable, and can attract different sorts of people," said Patrik Horazdovsky, a guarantor in the field of Smart Písek mobility.
The Smart Písek office came up with the idea of using shared bicycles in Písek, and the transportation department took over the implementation. The city determined that there is a high level of interest in shared bicycles in Písek during a pilot program in 2019, and chose to continue the initiative in 2021, selecting the firm nextbike Czech Republic Ltd on the basis of a public contract for a total price of CZK 1,674,000 without VAT.
There will be 100 bicycles accessible for anyone who is interested from May 1, 2021, to November 30, 2021, and from March 1, 2022, to November 30, 2022, a total of 16 calendar months (during the winter break from 1. 12. 2021 to 28. 2. 2022 bicycles will not be available).
Those interested in this service can use a smartphone app to search for available bicycles, book and pay for them, rent them, or report a defect.
