| Info coming from LBH is that Voi bikes are soon to expand into Hammersmith. Personally I would then ditch Forest altogether as I find them too expensive, too inconsistent, too faffy a user interface. Crappy equipment. How they continue to win contracts is beyond me. Unfortunately, Paul, it seems Lime is getting rid of minute bundles in favor of the unlimited £1.70 rides: "Lime seem to have got rid of their minute bundles - the only option I have on their app at the moment is the £6.99 per month subscription, which gets you unlimited 20-minute rides for £1.70 per ride (not for no additional cost as you imply) and no option for longer rides other than pay-as-you-go." Given my own pattern, this translates to an increase of 50% to use Lime with the new pricing scheme. "Voi's prices are considerably cheaper for rides up to 30 minutes, with their pay-as-you-go rate being 25p per minute with no unlock fee, and Hounslow residents able to purchase 30-minute bundles for £1.75 following a one-time registration." So again, given we were all sold on "choice" which does not yet exist, at least the cheapest alternative is soon to be able to service a wider area and, get this, connect town centers! If I recall, a key component of the millions invested in cycle lanes. |
