Thanks to G. for passing on from Capital Bikeshare:
“To adjust to the rising costs of providing bikeshare in Metro DC, we’ll increase prices on August 1. This will help us maintain our system’s infrastructure including more station upgrades and increased ebike availability.
So, what are the big changes?
Capital Bikeshare’s annual membership will increase to $120/year. Ebike rates will increase from $0.10 to $0.15 per minute. Extra-time rates for classic bike rides over 45 minutes and out-of-station parking charges for ebikes will remain the same for members. See the full breakdown below.
*University members will pay $25 a year until January 2026 when the new price increase goes into effect. However, ebike rates will increase to $0.15 per minute on August 1.
If you’re enrolled in auto-renewal, your membership will automatically renew at the new rate after August 1, unless you cancel.
You can cancel your membership at any time from the Capital Bikeshare profile page in the app or on our website. Select ‘Manage plan’ then ‘Cancel plan’. Your annual membership will remain active until the end of your membership year.
Remember, your CaBi membership includes
Free unlocks on every ride
Unlimited 45-minute rides on classic bikes
Ebike discounts
Five free unlocks for friends and family each year”
