About this app

Capital Bikeshare is DC, Virginia, and Maryland’s bike share system, and the first large scale bikeshare in the nation. Capital Bikeshare (CaBi) has thousands of bikes at hundreds of stations across Washington DC, Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Reston, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Bethesda and Chevy Chase. Best of all, it’s available 24/7.

CaBi consists of a fleet of specially designed, sturdy and durable bikes that are locked into a network of docking stations throughout the city. The bikes can be unlocked from one station and returned to any other station in the system, making them ideal for one-way trips. People use bike share to commute to work, meet friends for dinner, or simply cruise around and see new sights. After signing up, all trips under 30 minutes are free.
The CaBi App lets you purchase rides, unlock a bike, and ride right away. You can also view all station locations, see available bikes and docks, and get walking directions to them to start your ride.

The Capital Bikeshare app also shows upcoming public transit departures, including WMATA Metrorail, Metrobus, and 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.

Within the app, you can purchase the following:

I never review apps but had to for this one, because this bikeshare is by far the best one I've ever used. The prices were very reasonable, bikes were in great condition, great availability, and the e-bikes were the smoothest best I've ever used (and I've rented from a few places at day rates!). Checking bikes out and in was seamless. A true feather in the cap of our capital city, DC should be proud. Highly recommend this for getting around DC. Consider bringing a helmet with you if visiting.

their efforts for equity are outstanding. if you are low income just apply and you can get one free hour per day. they aren't very good about making sure e-bikes are picked up and available at doc's. oftentimes you have to complain.
