Dockless Bike Pilot Program Expands to the Bronx
The de Blasio administration’s dockless bike share pilot has arrived in the Bronx, bringing bike share for the first time to all five boroughs. Riders will be able to use the JUMP mobile app to rent bicycles within the greater Fordham area. And, beginning in mid-August, Citi Bike will also arrive in the pilot area as well.
“With the arrival of JUMP and Citi Bike to the Fordham area of the Bronx, every New York City borough now has bike share” said Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. “The neighborhoods around Fordham comprise the vital center of this borough, with many great cultural destinations—the Bronx Zoo, the Botanical Garden, and Fordham University.”
For the Bronx dockless pilot, JUMP will offer 200 pedal-assist bikes, followed by 200 dockless Citi Bikes, expected to arrive by mid-August. JUMP’s bikes are priced at $2 per half-hour, and likewise the dockless Citi Bikes.
