The common bicycle rental service now has two companies in São José | Vale do Paraíba and region

The 200 bikes released by Yellow – which operates in São Paulo – are now available, as well as Serttel's 100 bicycles, used in the city since the inauguration of the service. The company started to offer the rental of vehicles with 50 bicycles.

All recruitments are via mobile applications. In the new business, users can pay their credit card or rent in cash using pre-paid credits purchased from accredited merchants (listed in the app). Values ​​range from $ 5 to $ 40.

The rent is R $ 1 per 15 minutes of use. For users whose parking ticket is active in the blue zone, the value will be $ 0.50 for the same period.

There is still a monthly subscription option for the service that costs $ 20 and does not limit the number of uses in the month – but each trip can take up to 30 minutes with a 15 minutes break between them.

According to the Urban Mobility Secretariat, 460 users were registered at the beginning of the service. In November that number had risen to 829.
