Self-service bicycles (VLS)

Automated system for making bicycles available ( rental or loan, with or without subscription ) for a short period (a few minutes or tens of minutes) and generally making it possible to return the bicycle elsewhere than where it was taken.
Waiting bicycles are attached to a dedicated terminal, therefore parked in a space reserved for this service, on the road. Note: Some stations offer specific advantages, particularly in terms of borrowing time, for example at a terminal station on a tram line (Vcub+ in Bordeaux) or at an "altitude" station (bonus V'+ for Vélib' in Paris) .
