Major Expansion of Share Cycle Ports at Public Housing Complexes!

Kanagawa Prefectural Housing Supply Corporation (Location: Naka-ku, Yokohama City; hereinafter "the Corporation"), OpenStreet Inc. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo), and Docomo Bike Share, Inc. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo) will expand the installation of share cycle ports*1 (hereinafter "ports") at housing complexes owned by the Corporation, with operations beginning sequentially from April 2026.

*1 Dedicated parking areas where share cycles can be rented and returned.

Background At housing complexes owned by the Corporation that are located far from the nearest train station, improving transit convenience for residents, counteracting abandoned bicycles on the premises, and optimizing the bicycle parking environment have been ongoing challenges.

Meanwhile, OpenStreet Inc. operates "HELLO CYCLING," and Docomo Bike Share, Inc. operates services like "baybike" and "Kawasaki Bike Share." By deploying these share cycle services, they contribute to improving local mobility, reducing environmental impact, and creating sustainable communities.

In FY2023, the Corporation installed a port by OpenStreet Inc. on the premises of Flore Yokohama Mitsuzawa (Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama City), which was well-received by both residents and neighbors. Based on this background, the companies aim to build a highly convenient share cycle environment by leveraging each company's service network and expertise.

Details The Corporation, OpenStreet Inc., and Docomo Bike Share, Inc. will proceed with installing ports at housing complexes owned by the Corporation during FY2025, expanding to 16 new complexes. Operations will start sequentially from April 2026, aiming to improve transit convenience and mobility for residents and local citizens, as well as to reduce environmental impact.
