CUS One-stop Bicycle FacilitiesCUS one-stop bicycle facilities is an innovate project run by a group of recently-graduated students based in Jakarta, who designed the facilities called Cyclist Urban Systems (CUS). ‘Cus’ is Indonesian slang for “let’s go” and is a one-stop facility for cyclists. CUS facilities are intended to make cycling a more appealing option for commuters in Jakarta. Each CUS facility would offer a place for riders to park their bikes, clean up, and get dressed. It would provide toilets, lockers, showers, vending machines for snacks and drinks, a medical kit, a bicycle repair service, a sales area for bicycle accessories and even a bike-sharing station. The aim of the initiative is to encourage cycling, making it a more attractive and popular transport mode by making it more accessible. CUS one-stop bicycle facilities are planned to be constructed from recycled shipping containers. The smallest unit only takes up three parking spaces but can also be designed for indoor spaces.
