App summary

Analyze keywords

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:
Single Ride
Access Pass
Membership

Happy riding!

User reviews

the app is useless. Many useful features have been removed since lyft has taken over. the program has gone down the drain. You can't save your favorite stations/racks.

Absolutely avoid at all costs. Customer support is non existent. Charged me for a full membership then didn't give me the membership. Charged me for rides that never happened and I'm still unable to get a refund cause there is no one at customer service. If you have to use it, make sure you tie it to a credit card so you can charge back every time they mess up, and they will mess up.

Great, reliable app. I particularly like that you can toggle the map between displaying available bikes and available parking spaces. The only deficiency is that the businesses shown on the map are not always accurately located (sometimes being on the wrong block) and the suggested bike routes are not always optimal, so using Google Maps is still necessary.
