As we know, bike-sharing is popular in China, more and more people choose bike riding instead of driving. The bikes have GPS or Bluetooth on them, and they can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.
In some cities, we can see many people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It’s very easy to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bike-sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on(取决于) the time that you spend. Usually, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?
At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don’t take good care of the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen(被偷).
Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing makes our life easier. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.
What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Bike-sharing has become popular. B. Bike-sharing is cheap.
C. Bike-sharing has advantages. D. Bike-sharing has problems.
