Regional Roundup
Question of the Week
Tuesday we asked: Ofo, the China-based bikesharing company that brought its dockless yellow bikes to Worcester, left the city in July as it scales down its U.S. operations. The City of Worcester said it is working to bring a similar service to back to the city.
What should Worcester do to replace bikesharing service ofo?
  • Use a Massachusetts-based dockless bikeshare company that is killing it nationwide! Zagster/Pace
  • Focus on public transportation. So many people need it, and yet the city does not promote it for the millennials who come from larger urban areas. Improve the WRTA!! NOW!!
  • With the hills of Worcester, we need electric scooters like Lime instead of bikes. https://www.limebike.com/electric-scooter
