The deputy-mayor of Angers has a very special sense of humor. Commenting in the local press of september 20th the waiting time the students have to accept in order to get a municipal bike - in spite the fact these have to queue since 3 hours am! -Bernadette Caillard-Humeau said without laughing : "It's a phenomenal success".
It is more surely a phenomenal mess : all bikes are lend free for a three months periode renewable three times. So a person can get a bike a year for free! Because the system is only possible one time per person, most inhabitants of Angers who pay taxes are not eligible for a bike! Most of the users are students who will not stay in Angers.
Since 2008, the quantity of bikes has doubled. But what about the waiting time to get a bike? Because the office is not open till 9.30, it's not sure Mrs Caillard-Humeau would get a "standing" ovation even from the students at 3 o'clock in the morning...
