Bike Sampa: a bike share the city permits rather than buys

The city neither owns nor buys the bikes; it grants a permit and pays the sponsor in advertising space. Two years after the logos were doubled to fund 1,200 e-bikes, the press found 1,600 bikes, none electric.

São Paulo does not own or purchase its bike share. Tembici runs Bike Sampa on a revocable Termo de Permissão de Uso under Decree 57,889/2017, which lets the city charge a public price for the street space, obliges the operator to hand over trip records and requires expansion "to serve all regions" — while Itaú Unibanco pays for the branding and riders pay the fares. Because the Cidade Limpa law bans outdoor advertising, the sponsor is compensated in regulated visual space: in June 2022 the urban-landscape commission doubled the permitted logos in outer zones and allowed adverts on docking stations, explicitly to pay for e-bikes and peripheral stations. Two years later the specialist press found none of those e-bikes, a smaller fleet, stations pulled from four neighbourhoods and the operator absent from the commission's accountability meetings since February 2023.

📊 Impact

About 1,600 bikes at 241 stations in May 2024, none of them electric, after 1,200 e-bikes had been announced for 2023 (Jornal Bicicleta, citing operator figures and city records)

🎓 Lesson

A permit costs a city almost nothing and buys it almost nothing. São Paulo's leverage runs through advertising rights, so the sanction for an undelivered fleet is fewer logos rather than breach of contract — and although the 2017 decree gives the city a right to every trip record, the only public data is an unlicensed real-time availability feed, with no trip dataset of the kind Boston, Chicago or New York publish.

Claim 1 clm-f5059f0cf3daa130 quantitative
Tembici runs Bike Sampa on a revocable Termo de Permissão de Uso under Decree 57,889/2017, which lets the city charge a public price for the street space, obliges the operator to hand over trip records and requires expansion "to serve all regions"

Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The decree grants a Termo de Permissão de Uso — a permission, not a concession — under Lei 14.652/2007; article 5 provides that 'Poderá ser cobrado preço público semanal, mensal ou anual'; article 6 obliges operators to supply trip origin and destination, duration and service ratings to the city; and article 2 III requires 'expansão com o objetivo de manter uma operação equilibrada, de forma a atender a todas as regiões'. The permit service page confirms operators must be credentialled with an approved implementation plan and must pay the public price through a municipal form.
Caveat
The decree states no term length, and the arrangement is not free for both sides: the city may collect, not pay.

The 25 May 2024 report records approximately 1,600 bikes at 241 stations, none electric, against the 1,200 e-bike target announced by the mayor on 3 June 2022 starting with 500; station removals at Shopping Morumbi, Chácara Santo Antônio, Santana and Barra Funda documented in March 2024; and that the operator stopped reporting to the urban-landscape commission after February 2023.
Caveat
The same report gives the operator a R$89.21 million loss in 2023, its third consecutive one, with R$457 million accumulated — context the entry does not use as a cause.

What the mapping says
The specialist report gives 'aproximadamente 1.600 bikes em 241 estações', none electric, against the announced 1,200 e-bikes. The city's own relaunch announcement supplies the baseline the 2024 fleet is measured against: 25 stations at first, with a target of 260 stations and 2,600 bikes.
Caveat
Operator figures and city records relayed by the specialist press. The relaunch page carries no year in its fetched text; the dating rests on contemporaneous trade coverage of the same relaunch.

Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The instrument is a revocable permission rather than a concession, and the visual-communication allowance the city granted in June 2022 was justified explicitly by the expansion and the e-bikes it was meant to fund — so the lever the city holds over an undelivered fleet is the logo count.
Caveat
The characterisation of the sanction is the entry's own reading of the two instruments, not a statement by either.

What the mapping says
Article 6 of the decree obliges operators to supply trip origin and destination, duration and service ratings to the city. The public feed, fetched 26 July 2026 with last_updated 2026-07-26T19:19:00Z, carries eight endpoints including station information, station status and pricing plans — and publishes no license_url or terms_url, returning the placeholder system name 'kitchen' with a mobility-data contact address. The registry confirms it is a registered public endpoint distinct from the operator's other city systems. No historical trip dataset was found anywhere.
Caveat
The absence of a trip dataset is a negative finding across the sources reached.
