BISTA (Bicycle for rent & Information of station Tourist Asia) service has just been launched in Nha Trang in an effort of the city to call visitors to contribute to protecting the environment, reducing traffic accidents and promoting the image of a sea tourist city.
In fact, bicycle for rent has been popular for years, but only offered by some families along Tran Phu street or "Tây street" (foreigners street). The idea of organizing bike rental stations associated with providing tourist information (free of charge) was suggested by Asian Joint Stock Company and approved by Nha Trang People’s Committee to pilot tourist season this summer.
Mr. Nguyen Chi Cong, Sale manager of Asian Joint Stock Company, said: "Initially, 120 single and double bicycles will be arranged in 8 BISTA stations along Tran Phu - Pham Van Dong streets.
Each station has 10 single bicycles and 10 double bicycles. Customers may rent bicycle at one station and return at another station convenient for their schedule. In case there is problem with the bicycle, customers can change at the nearest station or inform the station to repair. Particularly, every station has staff in charge of providing city information for tourists as tours, prices, entertainment places...
Currently, double bicycle for rent is 70,000VND/bike/day or 30,000VND/bike/hour. Single bicycle for rent is 50,000VND/bike/day, or 20,000VND/bike/hour. After 2 weeks of pilot program, a lot of tourists have used bicycles for city tour.
