Serco

Serco provides cycle hire schemes in partnership with urban transport providers. We fully integrate the various elements from bike supply and maintenance to docking stations and back office operations.

We are at the forefront of one of the most complex and innovative cycle schemes, consistently delivering strong performance metrics. Designed, launched, and operated by Serco, we offer a financially viable and environmentally friendly model that is sustainable and replicable.

Cycle hire forms a key part of the transport infrastructure within a city, providing final journeys from traditional fixed transport routes, or directly from residential areas. They offer many benefits to people, communities, and cities including a healthy transport alternative and additional vital capacity to the traditional transport network. Serco supports major cities in their move towards this model.

We operate cycle hire schemes as an essential transport mechanism with strict KPIs, working with the end users and local transport bodies to improve the quality, accessibility, and efficiency of cycle hire. We also work with cycle hire governing bodies globally to enhance the reputation and effectiveness of cycle hire schemes across all communities, not just those it serves.
