- coredog64 7y agoCitibike in NYC is a dumpster fire. Same price as subway ride for a 30 minute ride. Each ride segment has to be 30 minutes or less or they start charging you by the minute. You can’t check out more than one bike on a single account. The full docks don’t correctly report in, meaning even though the dock is full, you can’t get a time extension while you go out of your way to return the bike.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoThat's the tourist price. NYC residents typically buy an annual pass for $170, which gives you free 45 minute segments.
- NikolaeVarius 7y agoBeen using CitiBike for 3 years. None of these have been an issue for me, except for the 30 minute time limit, but I was going from WTC to 96th st which took me 40 minutes
- acchow 7y agoNowhere near as convenient as a scooter. Closing the last half mile on a trip on scooter is a breeze. Sometimes the nearest bike docks at start and end total half a mile distance. Dockless bike? They are generally quite sparse where I am.
