This has been around for a while:<p><a href="https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdcategory=Navigation&fdid=be.brunoparmentier.openbikesharing.app&fdpage=3" rel="nofollow">https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdcategory=Navigation...</a><p>I guess this is the API it uses. It's pretty impressive. Seemingly hundreds of bike sharing systems are on this thing. It uses OSM for the background, and gives you a reading on how many bikes are at a given station.
They should remove Seattle's entry here. The Pronto network was cancelled in March due to disuse.<p><a href="https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2017/01/seattle-bike-share-pronto-goes-under/513575/" rel="nofollow">https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2017/01/seattle-bike-...</a>
I built an app over it that attempts to predict the future state of any network. It later recommends addings/substractions in order to keep offer and demand balanced among stations.<p>It could work in about 440 cities but none of the big companies that lead this wanted this. What would you do with it?
Isn't bike sharing huge in China?<p>Edit: <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/mar/22/bike-wars-dockless-china-millions-bicycles-hangzhou" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/mar/22/bike-wars-doc...</a><p>> <i>the world’s 15 biggest public bike shares are ranked. Thirteen of them are in China.</i>
This bike share visualization is also very good, has many different cities and lets you replay them over time

Great project, it seems that some companies —like Citymapper— use the API[0]. Would be nice if they also contributed with code or supported the author.<p>[0]: <a href="https://citybik.es/projects" rel="nofollow">https://citybik.es/projects</a>
Just spent 3 weeks in 6 cities in China. Ofo and Mobike seems to be the biggest bike share companies. There is also a company that makes electric bikes (with hub motor) available for bike share.<p>How they work:
1. Pay a deposit (99 RMB for Ofo, 299 RMB for Mobike) and register
2. Scan the QR code to unlock the bike -Mobike will unlock automatically- Ofo will send a pin to your phone that you can use to unlock the bike.
3. When you are done, just lock up your bike (rear wheel) and leave it anywhere.<p>In Shanghai it was common to see incensed security Guards dragging bikes off premises. Bikes definitely do clutter up precious walking space.

How is the data gathered? In Stockholm all three items were in the middle of the water without any real information. The names sounded faux and were ungooglable.
Great list! Donkey Republic ("global" but from Copenhagen) is missing though:
