Public bicycles placed at stations on Tran Hung Dao, Vo Van Kiet, Nguyen Tri Phuong and Xuan Thuy streets remain almost unused, although many tourists frequently use the roads.

In the beginning, Nguyen Thi Hoa in Hai Chau District said that the stations near her home were always short of bicycles, and many people were waiting an hour to try them out. But gradually, the bicycles were ignored, with only a few tourists occasionally renting them for sightseeing.
Nguyen Thanh Binh in Son Tra District said, "For months, I've seen bicycles left out in the sun and rain without being used. Sometimes, some people rent them and leave them in a mess."
In March 2023, Danang launched a public bicycle model with 61 stations and 600 bicycles in different districts: Hai Chau, Thanh Khe, Son Tra, Ngu Hanh Son, and Cam Le. Hai Chau District accounts for the highest number of stations, with 32.
