Up from 34,000 in 2008 when the Netherlands’ Railways took over OV-Fiets. [...] Subscribers travel more by train, “because they can get to more places easily”. Sharing their enthusiasm with family and friends leads to more subscribers. [..] In the video below you can see how the bike share system works at the railway station in the town of Heerlen [at] one of the over 250 locations in the Netherlands where you can rent [...] This is an unattended bicycle parking facility (privately owned bicycles can be parked there too) so the rental process is completely automated."
