This had led to many discarded bikes wind up in landfills (Ruiz, 2020). To deal with this issue, we have come up with an application called Cyclo. It is a bicycle rental app which acts as a transportation medium for tourist and non-tourist to stroll around the city especially to the local tourist attraction and they can also stop-by at the hawkers to enjoy local street foods which also helps boost the local economy.
