Zero carbon emissions by cycling
Transportation vehicles are among the most important factors triggering the climate crisis. Thousands of kilograms of carbon emissions, which are emitted by motor vehicles and cause global warming, are among the most important causes of environmental pollution. Among public transportation and individual vehicles, the bicycle stands out as a means of transportation with its environmentally friendly and zero carbon emission. As a means of transportation in short distances, it is possible to travel in an environmentally friendly way with bicycles, whose number of users is increasing rapidly.
İsbike smart bikes, which İSPARK serves in Istanbul, become a model as a new means of transportation with 3 bicycles at 3 locations. With the shared bicycle system, which was developed as an alternative means of transportation against motor vehicles that cause environmental pollution and offered to the use of Istanbul residents, it is aimed to reduce the use of individual vehicles and to expand bicycle transportation, especially in short distances.
