London cycle hire scheme. Ripe for a mobile app.
Transport for London (TfL) have put out a call for apps to promote London’s new cycle hire scheme which launches at the end of July.
This immediately caught my eye as it mixes two things that I love. Technology and cycling.
TfL opened up their cycle hire API earlier this month to allow access to information around bike hire locations and pricing.
I think this, mashed up with a few of TfL’s other APIs and a bit of smart phone magic would create an amazing mobile app service. It could help promote the scheme, encourage adoption and, vitally, aid TfL in defining future hire station locations and in adjusting and augmenting their current cycle path network.
