Request ID: FOI-2204-1718

You asked

The FOI 1672 gives the number of cycle hires by day, for casual and registered users until 2016 (available at: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/cycle_hires_by_casual_and_regist). I would therefore like to request the same information by docking station, i.e, : 1. The number of daily cycle hires made since January 2012 to the present by "casual" users (those who hire bicycles using a credit/debit card at the terminal) and by docking station. 2. The number of cycle hires made since January 2012 to present, by day and by docking station, by registered users who use a) a bike hire key b) the Santander Cycles mobile app (if applicable) 3. The number of cycle hires made since January 2012 to present, by day and by docking station, by registered users who have a) a Pay as you Pedal membership b) a yearly bike access
