Bluebikes is metro-Boston’s public bike share system. With thousands of bikes available 24/7 at hundreds of stations throughout Metro-Boston, Bluebikes is one of the most popular bike shares in the country.

When you’re done riding, simply return the bike to an available dock at any station in the network. The app will show you all station locations, with real-time bike and dock availability, and you can save your favorites for later reference. Tap a station pin or location and the app will show you the best route to get there.

All trips under 45 minutes are included for members (the app will track your time for you). Take as many rides as you want during the term of your pass.

Enjoy the ride!

Bluebikes is a bike-sharing system that provides access to shared bicycles for short-term use in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and Chelsea. The system is operated by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.

How it Works

To use Bluebikes, riders must purchase a membership. There are three membership options:

* 24-Hour Pass: $10 for unlimited 30-minute rides within a 24-hour period.

* 7-Day Pass: $15 for unlimited 30-minute rides within a 7-day period.

* Annual Membership: $99 for unlimited 30-minute rides for one year.

Members can rent bikes from any of the Bluebikes stations located throughout the service area. To rent a bike, riders simply swipe their membership card or use the Bluebikes mobile app. The bike will be released from the dock, and riders can then ride the bike for up to 30 minutes.

When riders are finished with their ride, they can return the bike to any Bluebikes station. The bike will be automatically locked into the dock, and the rider's membership will be charged for the duration of the ride.
