hose who will be spending time at the Ancol Dreamland Park in North Jakarta during Idul Fitri can consider utilizing an app-based bicycle service provided by the park management until August this year.
Dubbed Ourbike, the service is a collaborative effort between Ancol and China-based app, OURBIKE.
In order to use it, visitors will first need to install an app that is available for Android and iOS devices. Afterwards, they will be required to input the bicycle numbers or scan the barcode provided before receiving a passcode to unlock the bike.

“The bicycle can be used within the Ancol area,” Ancol Dreamland Park director Teuku Sahir Syahali told kompas.com, adding that the management has prepared 1,000 bikes for the service.
Ancol Dreamland Park’s corporate communications officer, Rika Lestari, said that the bicycles could be found in some areas, such as the pedestrian walkways at the West Gate, East Gate, the busway station and throughout Lagoon Beach.
"During this Idul Fitri holiday, the bicycle will provide alternative transportation for visitors to explore park areas, aside from the Sato-Sato Train and Wara-Wiri Bus," said Rika. (wir/kes)
