After successful registration, customers can use the company's mobile app on their smartphones to locate nearby bicycles. Each bike is equipped with a [[Bluetooth]] and [[Internet]] connection, and has a [[QR code]] on the frame, which the customer scans to unlock the bike.
<!-- NOTICE: The source of the deposit amount is in the application itself, so couldn't share a direct link of it. There is a screenshot in a news website, that I used as a source -->

Once users finish their ride, they need to manually lock and leave the bike in any parking spot to be ready for the next user. At the time of locking the bike, the user must again ensure they have a Bluetooth and Internet connection in order for the Bdood system to record the end of the ride and correctly calculate the hire charge. If violations are reported, a credit system penalizes the corresponding user after a certain number of times, and in extreme cases, the user could be suspended from the platform.

The application also can be used to report problems with the bike or to contact support in case of any help needed.
