The number of bicycles rented out in the period between November and April rose by 18.8% to 119,000 compared with the same period last year, the company that operates the rentals told the business paper.
This data confirms expectations before the metro refurbishment began that many commuters would choose to use the bikes, which are available for rent at designated points on the street.
