But as we all know rental includes many touch points - so how do you condense rental down to the absolute minimum without compromising on quality / safety / transparency? 

The answer is "semi-automated rentals".  Self-service - let the customer do some of the work of the staff.

• check out bikes?
  
• ensure returned bikes are checked in?
