𝗤𝗮𝗾𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝗶 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗕𝗶𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀

𝗦𝘂𝘃𝗮, 𝗙𝗶𝗷𝗶 —
Qaqi Mai: Bike Share welcomes the recent announcement by Fiji Government, through Minister Ro Filipe Tuisawau , introducing $𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗶𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀.

This is an important step for Fiji.

For a long time, bicycle lanes were there, but not always respected. Now, the Government is making it clear that these lanes are 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀, and they must be kept clear.

The Minister also raised two key points:

☑ The 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 of enforcement when officers have to respond and tow vehicles
☑ The role of the 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗠𝗦 code 582 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀

This shows that keeping bicycle lanes clear is not only Government work, it is something 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀

When a vehicle blocks a bicycle lane:

✔ Cyclists are forced onto the main road
✔ That puts them in danger
✔ Many people will stop riding because they feel unsafe

So this rule is not just about fines.
It is about 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁:

Every time someone blocks a lane:
✔ Officers must come
✔ Time is used
✔ Sometimes vehicles must be towed

This means extra cost on the system.

𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿
Government has asked the public to report through SMS. Qaqi Mai supports this. But we are also asking people to go one step further.

𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗤𝗮𝗾𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝗶 Founder Eliki R. Dakuitoga
Qaqi Mai is calling on the public to help raise awareness:

If you see a vehicle blocking a bicycle lane:

☑ Take a photo
☑ Post it on social media
☑ Tag Qaqi Mai: Bike Share
☑ Or share it in our Qaqi Mai: Bike Share Facebook Group

This is not about attacking people.

It is about helping everyone understand that 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿

Right now, many people are still learning:

☑ What bicycle lanes are for
☑ Why they are important
☑ Why they must be respected

So we must work together:
✔ Government — to enforce
✔ Qaqi Mai — to support and educate
✔ Public — to help spread awareness

𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱

The organisation stresses that this is not about shaming individuals, but about helping more people understand that bicycle lanes are meant to be kept clear.

“𝐼𝑛 𝐹𝑖𝑗𝑖, 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑡,” the statement said.

Qaqi Mai believes that enforcement alone will not be enough. Education and awareness must grow at the same time, as many people are still learning what bicycle lanes are for and why they matter.

The organisation says the country is now starting to see the pieces come together, policy discussions, real use of bicycles on the ground, and now enforcement to support it.

“𝐵𝑖𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑦 𝑏𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑖𝑛 𝐹𝑖𝑗𝑖,” 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑑. “𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑎 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎. 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑙𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑦 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑖𝑡 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑.”

Qaqi Mai reiterated its support for the Government’s direction and called for continued cooperation between authorities and the public to build a safer and more practical transport system for the country.

Qaqi Mai: Bike Share is Fiji’s first homegrown bike share initiative, working to reduce traffic, save fuel, and provide simple, affordable transport options for everyday people.

𝗤𝗔𝗤𝗜 𝗠𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗜𝗝𝗜 𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗥

Qaqi Mai: Bike Share has been selected into the 𝑭𝒊𝒋𝒊 𝑰𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 – 𝑪𝒐𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝟏, under the 𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔, a national programme that brings together Government, financial institutions and innovators to work on real solutions for Fiji.

The selection places Qaqi Mai among a small group of businesses recognised not only for innovation, but for addressing wider system challenges, including transport, cost of living and sustainability.

For many Fijians, traffic congestion, rising fuel costs and limited short-distance transport options are becoming part of daily life. Simple trips, from home to the bus stop, from the bus stop to work, or moving around town, are becoming more difficult, expensive and time-consuming.

Qaqi Mai has been working over the past seven years to demonstrate that bicycles can play a practical role in solving these everyday problems. With bikes already operating at 𝑴𝒚 𝑺𝒖𝒗𝒂 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌, the concept is no longer theoretical, but something people are already using on the ground.

Participation in the Activator programme now creates an opportunity to take this further. It allows direct engagement with Government agencies and financial institutions, while also opening the door to test solutions through the 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒃𝒐𝒙- a controlled space where new ideas can be trialled even if current laws are outdated.

This is particularly relevant as Fiji continues to operate under older frameworks such as the 𝑩𝒊𝒄𝒚𝒄𝒍𝒆 𝑨𝒄𝒕, which does not fully account for modern developments like e-bikes and shared mobility systems.

Through this programme, Qaqi Mai aims to contribute to ongoing discussions on how transport systems can evolve to better meet current needs — especially in addressing traffic congestion, reducing reliance on fuel and improving access for everyday users.

“𝑊𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑦 𝑠𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘. 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠 𝑢𝑠 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑔𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚 𝑎𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑡, 𝑠𝑜 𝑖𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑤 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒.”

The programme will commence from 𝟐𝟖–𝟑𝟎 𝑨𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝑭𝒊𝒋𝒊, marking the beginning of a structured engagement between innovators and national stakeholders.

As Fiji continues to face increasing pressure on its transport systems, initiatives such as this highlight the growing importance of practical, affordable and sustainable alternatives in shaping the country’s future.
