Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam held the '2023 Living Bicycle Riding Parade' event at the Meeting Plaza area within Changwon Sports Park.

The parade included about 200 shared Plus Nubija bicycles, which underwent a complete system transformation this year with the installation of terminals using location information recognition devices to enhance citizen convenience, and a payment system enabled by attaching terminals for rental and return.

Citizens riding the shared Plus Nubija bicycles toured the city, starting from the Meeting Plaza, passing through City Hall Intersection - Changwon Hospital - Samdong Intersection - City Seven, and returning to the Meeting Plaza, completing a 9 km course.

Additionally, various side events such as invited singer performances and experience booths were prepared to provide great enjoyment for citizens who did not participate in the bicycle parade.

Vice Mayor Jo said, “This event provided an opportunity to widely inform citizens about the changes in our city’s shared Plus Nubija bicycles. We will strive to establish ourselves as a carbon-zero environmental city by promoting the use of bicycles, a low-carbon transportation mode.”
