中國共享單車小藍尚未在舊金山獲得許可

Chinese bike-share startup Bluegogo, which had planned to fill San Francisco's public bike racks with rental bicycles, is seeking permits after drawing backlash from city leaders.

中國共享單車初創企業“小藍單車”原計劃到美國舊金山發展租賃單車業務，但是卻遭到了該市官員的反對，目前正在申請許可。

The company has recently faced resistance in its first US market－San Francisco, which is home to other share-economy innovations like Uber, Lyft and Airbnb.

日前，這家公司遭到了來自其第一個美國市場--舊金山的阻力，該市目前擁有像優步、Lyft、以及Airbnb等其它的共享經濟創新產品。

Different from other bike-share programs, Bluegogo's bikes are equipped with smart locks and GPS systems, which allow riders to locate and unlock the bikes using their smartphones and leave them at any public bike rack without locking. The service costs only 99 cents per half hour.

和其他的共享單車項目不同，“小藍單車”的自行車都配有智能鎖和GPS系統，這使得騎車的人可以用手機來定位和鎖住單車，並且不用上鎖就可以把單車停放在任何公共自行車架上。這項服務每半小時只收費99美分。

The company had planned to launch the program last month, but city leaders vowed to impound their bicycles and fine the company if they went ahead without permission.

該公司原計劃上月推出這項計劃，但是舊金山市的官員表示，如果“小藍單車”未經許可就行動，他們將扣押該公司的自行車並罰款。

City officials, who have referred to Bluegogoas a "rogue" company, were worried that the company would dump tens of thousands of bikes that would clutter public sidewalks. Bluegogo does not reveal how many bicycles it plans to deposit in the city.

該市官員稱“小藍單車”是一個“流氓”公司，擔心該公司會在舊金山傾瀉數萬輛自行車，使得人行道雜亂不堪。“小藍單車”方面也沒有透露計劃在該市總共投入多少單車。

Supervisor Aaron Peskin said: "Every single time, these arrogant tech companies ask later for forgiveness, or ask later for permission. This is the first time where San Francisco has gotten ahead of the curve."

舊金山城市監督人亞倫·佩斯金表示：“每一次，這些傲慢的科技公司都是先斬後奏。這是舊金山第一次走在了他們前面。”

Ilya Movshovich, Bluegogo's vice-president of US operations, told China Daily in an email: "We'd still really like to come to an agreement with the city regarding the use of public racks. We last met with the city on Jan 25 and are still waiting to hear back on what permits might be needed."

“小藍單車”美國區營運副總裁伊利亞·莫沙維奇在寫給《中國日報》的一份電子郵件中表示：“我們仍然很想和舊金山市在使用公共自行車架方面達成協議。我們上次和該市官員會面是在1月25日，我們仍然在等他們回覆需要哪些許可。”
