What Serco do

• Fill and empty the stations
  For the right number of bikes to be in the right place at the right time every day, we have a crew that are out working from morning to night. If a station becomes full with bikes or empty, the crew gets notified and they will move bike around to distribute them evenly.
• Repair bicycles
  Bikes in a sharing system are frequently used, and therefore require regular lubrication, washing, and love.
• Help our users
  We’re available to offer information and answer questions directly within the app, via Facebook and Twitter, on the website and via email.
• Continue to develop the service
  We’re here to make sure that more and more people are using bikes. To make this happen, we’re working to make the bikes better, keep the app and website updated, and develop new ideas.
