Capital Bikeshare

The Capital Bikeshare application serves as the official bikeshare system for the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. It stands out as the first large-scale bikeshare program in the nation, offering an extensive network of bicycles and docking stations across various locations such as Washington DC, Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Reston, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Bethesda, and Chevy Chase.

Capital Bikeshare (CaBi) provides a fleet of specially designed, robust, and durable bikes that are securely locked into docking stations throughout these cities. These bikes can be easily unlocked from one station and returned to any other station within the system, making them perfect for one-way trips. Whether you're commuting to work, meeting friends for dinner, or exploring new sights, Capital Bikeshare offers a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transportation.

After signing up, users enjoy free trips lasting less than 30 minutes. The Capital Bikeshare app streamlines the experience by allowing you to purchase rides, unlock a bike, and start your journey instantly. Additionally, the app provides real-time information on station locations, available bikes and docks, and even walking directions to help you begin your ride seamlessly.

One of the standout features of the Capital Bikeshare app is its integration with public transit options. It displays upcoming departures for various modes of transportation, including WMATA Metrorail, Metrobus, shuttle lines, DC Circulator buses, Fairfax Connector buses, Montgomery RideOn buses, Alexandria DASH buses, Prince George’s County TheBus buses, Arlington Regional Transit buses, VRE trains, and the Silver Line Express. This comprehensive approach ensures that users have access to a wide range of transportation options.
