Kocaeli Smart Bicycle System (KOBİS), which was put into operation by Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality in 2014, has become one of the indispensable entertainment and transportation tools of Kocaeli residents with the arrival of the summer months.
5 MOBILE AND WEB NEW MEMBERS IN 1100 DAYS
The membership record was broken in the first five days of July within the scope of the project, which has become the abandonment of Kocaeli. The number of mobile and web memberships of KOBI, which is very easy to use mobile, reached 5 people by the end of the working day on Monday, July 1100th.
REACHED 170 THOUSAND MEMBERS
Providing service with 2021 stations and 12 smart bikes in 74 districts as of 520, KOBIS has 170 members. Encouraging the use of bicycles, which is a sustainable and environmental transportation vehicle, the Metropolitan plans to expand the use of bicycles with new networks.
DISTRICTS WILL CONNECT WITH BICYCLE ROADS
Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality will create a Bicycle Paths Design Handbook within the scope of the project "Creating Bicycle Roads Design Guide and Preparing Bicycle Road Projects", which is currently underway. The use of bicycles in urban transportation will be encouraged by integrating Derince City Center and Izmit, Kartepe and Başiskele districts with safe bicycle paths. The route, which will start from Derince Training and Research Hospital, will be integrated into Sekapark from this point by going to the "Healthy Life Park", where the project work is ongoing in the old military area to the south of the hospital, and accessing Derince city center and then the "Derince Millet Garden", which is under construction.
BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS WILL HAVE A VOICE
Within the scope of Izmit City Center Walkway Project, the route study that will encourage transportation by bicycle to the pedestrianized area will continue from this point to the Yuvacık turn. In the second part of the project, the route will be connected to Salim Dervişoğlu Street by following Hayrettin Uzun Street, where the heavily visited Outlet Center and 41Burda Shopping Centers intersect. For bicycle users, every detail has been meticulously handled. In this context, the safety of cyclists and pedestrians is considered among the main criteria in the design. With road regulations, cyclists and pedestrians will have more say in the city.
