Abstract
This paper examines the key success factors and major barriers to the development of bike-sharing systems (BSSs) in cities of varying sizes. Using the Mevo 2.0 system in the Gdańsk–Gdynia–Sopot metropolitan area as a case study and benchmarking it against 63 Polish BSSs, the analysis reveals that large cities face challenges related to financial constraints and spatial planning, while medium-sized cities demonstrate better BSS performance. An excessive number of BSSs can lead to communication issues and oversupply. Therefore, city authorities should prioritize public participation, infrastructure investments, and spatial planning to enhance BSS efficiency.
