Onroll Rolls Across Spain
A bike-sharing system that has yet to receive attention on The Bike-sharing Blog, until now, is called Onroll from the Spanish company domoblue. Onroll is one of the few systems out there where rental and return is conducted by text message (SMS). To join, one must register their mobile phone number to receive a customer code. Checking out a bike is as easy as sending a text message with the following information:
“Take b[bike number] l[lock number] [customer code]”
For example, “Take b20 l88 se1234″.
Returning a bike is just as easy with replacing “Take” with “Return”.
Each bike and lock are uniquely numbered.
