How much will it cost to develop a Smart Bike Sharing App like Mobycy?

Bike Sharing App Daily commute is a big challenge in most of the urban cities where public transport systems are jammed with roads blocked most of the times. Amidst all of this, it is nearly impossible for urban dwellers to be able to travel for short distances as rickshaws and cabs do not go for shorter distances, and even if they do go, they charge higher fares. People might end up paying higher fares to them because of this issue. Conclusion of this situation is that urban people end up paying higher rates than they should, which itself is an issue.

Bike sharing app like Mobycy is a smart solution to this problem. Dockless bike sharing frees up users from a big hassle of first locating a stand to find an idle bike, then finding a parking station after having reached the destination. If someone has to walk from the parking station to final destination, it defeats the entire purpose of having a last mile solution. Mobycy has developed an indigenous solution for short distance travels in cities.
