Public bike-sharing schemes (PBSS) or bicycle hiring schemes (BHS) are now available in many cities globally. The purpose of this paper is to provide an outline for the feasibility of implementing PBSS in Bangladesh, particularly in Dhaka city, discussing the major issues that need to be considered. For doing this, PBSS that are already available and operating in six different cities - London, Paris, New York, Buenos Aires, Hangzhou, and New Delhi - were studied and relevant documents were reviewed to understand the salient features of the schemes as well as their overall operating and management systems. By understanding the critical aspects of the PBSS in the above mentioned cities, the implementation process and tasks required for PBSS were assessed with the existing conditions in the case study area of Dhaka city. The detailed scheme of bike-sharing for the case study locations in Dhaka were prepared and analysis was made of the strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis) of the proposed scheme. Questionnaire surveys of bicyclists were made to understand their travel patterns as well as deriving their opinions and views regarding the proposed PBSS for the case study locations. Findings of this research will help as the guiding principles for implementing PBSS in Dhaka city as well as in other similar cities in Bangladesh, or in other countries in the Global South.

全球许多城市现在都可以使用公共自行车共享计划（PBSS）或自行车租赁计划（BHS）。本文的目的是概述孟加拉国（尤其是在达卡市）实施PBSS的可行性，并讨论需要考虑的主要问题。为此，对已经在六个不同城市（伦敦，巴黎，纽约，布宜诺斯艾利斯，杭州和新德里）中可用并正在运行的PBSS进行了研究，并审查了相关文件以了解该计划的主要特征以及他们的整体运营和管理系统。通过了解上述城市中PBSS的关键方面，结合达卡市案例研究区的现有条件，评估了PBSS的实施过程和任务。为达卡的案例研究地点准备了详细的自行车共享计划，并分析了拟议计划的优势，劣势，机会和威胁（SWOT分析）。对骑自行车的人进行了问卷调查，以了解他们的出行方式，并得出他们对案例研究地点建议的PBSS的看法。这项研究的发现将有助于在达卡市以及孟加拉国其他类似城市或全球南方其他国家中实施PBSS的指导原则。对骑自行车的人进行了问卷调查，以了解他们的出行方式，并得出他们对案例研究地点建议的PBSS的看法。这项研究的发现将有助于在达卡市以及孟加拉国其他类似城市或全球南方其他国家中实施PBSS的指导原则。对骑自行车的人进行了问卷调查，以了解他们的出行方式，并得出他们对案例研究地点建议的PBSS的看法。这项研究的发现将有助于在达卡市以及孟加拉国其他类似城市或全球南方其他国家中实施PBSS的指导原则。
