How to read this map
Analysis is limited to
cities/countries
with GBFS feeds
Gaps may reflect feeds without coordinates, sparse station data, or temporary fetch errors
Composite index (0–1) ranks cities on combined stations and vehicles
Cluster badge shows the
sum of counts
inside each cluster at this zoom
Dots at highest zoom show
city-level
multi-operator totals; popups show values at snapshot time
“Unspecified type” appears when feeds provide totals but no reliable split by vehicle type
Country placeholders appear when there are system totals without city coordinates
In some jurisdictions operators do not publish GBFS (or publish partial feeds)
Missing data may reflect policy or contract restrictions on GBFS publication rather than absence of service
