Kiev launched the municipal bike rental system Nextbike in a test mode for now. Along with the official presentation, the CEO of Nextbike Ukraine announced tariffs for bike rental in Kiev. It was noted that the subscription for a month is going to be UAH 120 (the usage of bike for the firs 30 minutes will be free, the next hour – UAH 8 and each subsequent hour – UAH 50). Subscription for the season (March - October) will cost UAH 800 (the usage of bike for the first 30 minutes will be free, the next hour – UAH 4 and each subsequent hour – UAH 50). However, usage of Nextbike without the subscription will be more expensive (the first 30 minutes - UAH 20, every next hour – UAH 50).
