There are multiple storefronts which have space for dozens of bikes


A up-and coming startup company Yellow has announced that they will be opening their stores next week on monday. They offer their services affordably to all citizens of Kaliburg. They have around 800 bicycles for rentals for the citizens, as well as 100 e-bikes and they are debating whether or not to include electric scooters in their lineup.

Yellow's CEO Anne Simeon has also announced plans for other major cities in Kalistan, as well as providing services abroad if public interest deems it benefitial.

Simeon Also gave a quick interview on the business

T(he) R(epublic): So, Miss Simeon, let's cut the chase. What does your company offer for the people of Kaliburg, and why should people use it?

A(nne) S(imeon): Well, Yellow Inc. provides a cheaper and a more environment friendly travel around the city, no carbon emissions and totally affordable and easy service! All you have to do is go to one of our many store fronts, or download the Yellow App on your smartphone and they'll give you an access code for the lock.

TR: You say they're affordable? What does it cost to rent a bike for say 2 hours.

AS: The service itself costs little to nothing, only 3 KRB for every 15 minutes per bike, and the e-bikes are 10 KRB for every 15 minutes.

TR: On your website it says that you have plans to expand to other cities, and possibly even internationally. How do you plan to do so with such low prices?

AS: Well, the service is able to maintain itself with the current prices, but we would be able to expand markets and gain enough profits if we partner with other companies and find investors.

TR: So, what you are saying that Yellow Inc. is already struggling financially?

AS: No, no not at all. We are supporting ourselves, and getting small profits, and that is good enough, because we are doing this for the service and the environment and not for profits. All profits would go towards expansion to other cities either way.

TR: One final question: What about theft protection? How do you ensure that your bikes aren't stolen?

AS: Well, we can see who has rented the disappeared model, and we will charge them for their whole time, or if the person reports it as stolen, we will only charge them of their used time until the report, and then negotiate with them for payment of the disappeared bike.

TR: Thank you for your time Miss Simeon, we look forward to seeing what Yellow inc. has in store for us

AS: It was a pleasure

Yellow Inc. definitely seems to be the future of environmental transportation within cities, and we look forward to seeing more from them
