The bicycles will have GPS devices to prevent theft. Accordingly, by 2020, 2,000 bicycles will be deployed in 150 locations. Electric bicycles, numbering 2,500, will be put in 250 locations by 2026. In the 2030s, their number is expected to be doubled. The fee for the service will be 500 Mongolian tugriks (20 U.S. cents) per 30 minutes, and 800 tugriks (about 33 cents) per hour.
