Sydneysiders are getting ready to say goodbye to their transport woes¹ next month, when the harbour city's first dockless bike-share venture is set to launch.

 

悉尼人下月就可以跟交通问题说拜拜了，这座港城将首次开通共享单车服务。

 

ReddyGo, a Sydney venture backed by China's Bluegogo, will bring thousands of bikes over the coming months that can be unlocked by users with a smartphone app and cost 1.99 Australian dollars (1.48 U.S. dollars) for 30 minutes. 

 

"Dockless bike share has the potential to transform travel in our city," a ReddyGo spokesperson told Fairfax Media. 

 

"The first 160 bikes will ship from China on Monday, but the plan is to put 6000 bikes on greater Sydney's streets within six months." 

 

Founder² Donald Tang, who has lived in Sydney for 12 years, came up with the idea after the frustration³ of continually being late, the University of Technology Sydney graduate said.

 

Inspired by a former classmate back in Anhui province, who was listed by Forbes Magazine's as one of China's "elite⁴ entrepreneurs under 30."
