Bluebikes

Amazing opportunity to have a ride in United States!

I’ve used this FREE (45 minutes at a time) bike share program while visiting Boston for the last few days. The map app is easy to use, showing you where there are bikes and open docks available. Only suggestion is to change street names to black (not white) and bigger font…to make it easier to read.

Not friendly for foreigners it won't accept a canadian credit card

Bought four 30 minutes rides while at a docking station in Boston. The bikes wouldn’t unlock because the app said there were “0 bikes available” (this was not true, the app just didn’t realize there were bikes docked). Contacted customer service asking for a refund since we never used the rides anyway and they just ignored me.

Super easy to set up and lots of opt to pick up and drop off. We highly recommend the adventure day.

Great service, I use it all the time, however very frequently the code I am given in the app will not unlock any of the bikes on the rack. Also the app says there are no bikes when I'm standing next to one or two on the rack.

Fast, stable, informative. Good UX design. Does what it needs to do.

I love the city and I also get around walking but this past Fourth of July I decided with a group of friends to take the blue bikes out for the day and go see the fireworks along the Charles river. I was the first one on my bike at the first station and I had clicked on the daily pass. We have all seen that there was a promotion of a daily pass for 10 bucks. That is what they are marketing on there signs and what not. We had gone to another station to get bikes for the rest of my friends and we were driving the bikes for five hours at the end of the night after all the fireworks were done and we got to our preferred dock station, we were all charged 50+ dollars. Apparently the day pass is only for two hours and then you get charged $.25 per minute after that some Bull like that. If we had known we would spend over $50 each we would’ve decided to take an Uber instead of the bikes I had two other friends that had gotten their bikes after I did and we charged 70+ dollars. After sharing my experience with other friends, this is actually a common thing where with blue bikes you never know what amount you will get charged. Another friend who has driven the blue bikes before said they were charged $200 not sure if the reason but that was the last time they got on those bikes. I wanted to delete my blue bike account unfortunately it is linked to my Lyft, and it will delete the Lyft account as well. I don’t think I will continue to use the bike services. If you are going short distance this will probably be beneficial for you but not for an all day excursion because you will more likely pay an extravagant amount. With that extravagant amount, I could’ve bought a new bike from Walmart for $80 or paid the Uber. Scam? It feels like it.

The bikes don’t scan and inputting the id number is super unintuitive, worst public transit app ever

I paid for a day pass - unlimited rides for 24 hours. Then I took a ride the same day and they charged me $21. Apparently e-bikes aren’t included on the day pass. Which is fine, if that were ever disclosed. But it wasn’t, or I would have ridden a regular bike. They withhold that information and then bill you astronomically for using an ebike. Again, just disclose the fees for that bike and that it’s not included rather than showing nothing and then charging me after the fact. The only way I even knew was because of the charge on my card!
