Bike-Share Coming to the Bronx via Dockless Pilot Program
The Bronx and Staten Island will see bike-share programs for the first time under a pilot being rolled out this summer. The de Blasio administration’s plan to introduce dockless bike-sharing in the neighborhood near Fordham University in the Bronx and on Staten Island’s North Shore will also see a rollout in two beach communities that haven’t been reached by bike-share: Coney Island in Brooklyn and the Rockaways in Queens.
“Bronx residents have consistently shared with myself and my office a tremendous desire to see bike- sharing services expanded to their borough,” said borough president Ruben Diaz Jr. “This pilot program is welcome news, and a great first step towards the goal of readily-available bike-sharing across the borough.”
Unlike Citi Bike, the dockless program doesn’t require physical docking stations. Instead, the bikes are rented via mobile app, usually for $1 or $2 per ride.
