3. If the user is unable to return a public bicycle in accordance with Paragraph 1 because he/she is unable to find a Cycle Port that can house public bicycles or for any other reason, he/she shall return such public bicycle to another Cycle Port or take the returning procedure where the Cycle Ports are full by operating the on-road terminal.
