RFID rolls for bike rentals in France

"Cyclists can rent bicycles with a swipe of a contactless, pre-paid, RFID card at kiosks in Lyon, France. JCDecaux said Monday it will add 100 Cyclocity self-checkout kiosks for the city of Lyon, France and the surrounding suburbs where cyclists can rent bicycles with a swipe of a contactless, pre-paid card with radio frequency identification technology (RFID) inside. Albertini said the bicycle kiosks enable JCDecaux to keep track of between 12,000 and 14,000 rentals daily. They can monitor who rents the bicycles as well as the hours and the day. More than 2000 bicycles are rented on average between 10 and 12 times daily." Source: itnews.com.au
