One of the ways to deal with this problem is to strengthen active modes of transportation and use shared bicycle systems as an environmentally friendly system. Therefore, in this research, the type and implementation method of the shared bicycle system has been chosen to increase the desire to use bicycles in daily trips within the city. In this research, firstly, citizens' opinions about cycling and its infrastructure have been investigated. For this purpose, the number of 1707 research-oriented questionnaires, of which 974 in the field and 733 in the internet, were distributed among the citizens of Qom. Then, different generations of shared bicycles were investigated and the suitable generation for implementation in Qom city was determined by using the AHP hierarchical analysis method.
