OBike dumped some 800 bikes in Zurich without asking, or telling creating a huge mess. The problem with those bikes, apart from the fact that they look atrociously is that the quality is so bad to make them borderline unusable. I have hardly seen them in use, but there are a lot of those bikes lying around broken. There is no customer service, whatsoever and no point of contact. Aparently the manager they put in place for Switzerland left some month ago. Add to all this that according to C'T they are a massive privacy violator with all the data they suck about their renters. Lime Bike seems to fare a bit better, alas the bikes are of better quality. According to press reports they should be collected and removed. Reading about the shenanigans of that company probably at the tax payers dime. With that method, dump a shitton of crap bikes on a city and let them fend for themselves, OBike created a hellishly hostile territory for the dockless bike sharing concept.
