Shared Economy or Burden Upper Intermediate PREMIUM
oBike is a Singapore-based stationless bicycle-sharing system with operations in several countries. The benefit of such bikes is that you don't need an existing infrastructure of docking stations, and anyone with a smartphone can go ahead and unlock a bike and park at their destination. However, there is a problem of how people park them and where. Without adequate parking spaces throughout the city, they can become a problem by being parked illegally, or taking up spaces reserved for cars or motorbikes. Who is responsible for this situation? The company, the government, or the people?
