Ecovolis is a program that aims to promote ecological transportation by bicycle, giving our city more clean air, adding a civic European practice that helps economic, social and environmental development of our community.
The bicycle stations now are a reality in Albania. The first public bicycle adapted by Eco-Bicycle Team is called Ecovolis. Eco Volis comes from Latin and means ecological flight (flight volis in Latin). The citizens and the community of Tirana will be able to use it for their daily needs, helping to relieve congestion and reduce carbon emissions, but also to raise the fitness level of citizens, improve the quality of neighborhood life, and relieve pressure on municipal budgets. The first Ecovolis stations will be close to Youth Park, in the Tirana Park and other key points for transportation of the citizens of Tirana. Everyone can use this service by subscribing to the Eco Bicycle to benefit by the possibility of using Ecovolis and also many other alternatives offered by Eco Bicycle. This ambitious project is the first of its kind in the Balkans, will soon spread to other major cities of Albania.
