Everything About The The New App Capital Bikeshare
Capital Bikeshare is DC, Virginia, and Maryland’s bike share system, and the first large scale bikeshare in the nation. Capital Bikeshare (CaBi) has thousands of bikes at hundreds of stations across Washington DC, Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Reston, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Bethesda and Chevy Chase. Best of all, it’s available 24/7.
CaBi consists of a fleet of specially designed, sturdy and durable bikes that are locked into a network of docking stations throughout the city. The bikes can be unlocked from one station and returned to any other station in the system, making them ideal for one-way trips. People use bike share to commute to work, meet friends for dinner, or simply cruise around and see new sights. After signing up, all trips under 30 minutes are free.
The CaBi App lets you purchase rides, unlock a bike, and ride right away. You can also view all station locations, see available bikes and docks, and get walking directions to them to start your ride.
The Capital Bikeshare app also shows upcoming public transit departures, including WMATA Metrorail, Metrobus, and shuttle lines, DC Circulator buses, Fairfax Connector buses, Montgomery RideOn buses, Alexandria DASH buses, Prince George’s County TheBus buses, Arlington Regional Transit buses, VRE trains, and the Silver Line Express.
Within the app, you can purchase the following:

Great app overall. My only complaint is the inconsistency of pickups/dropoffs for those in Bike Angels program. I literally just saw a station marked for pickups with no bikes available. I've also seen stations that are relatively full that are marked for dropoffs. There has to be a simpler way for whatever algorithm the app uses to mark stations more sensibly as pickup/dropoff.

Interface is not simple enough to navigate. It was too difficult to learn how to set up multiple bikes for family members from one device. While we tried to figure it out, the app just kept charging us for the bike we already scanned. We never figured out how to add additional bikes. Then, docking stations were full or not accessible, so it just kept charging us until we found an empty dock to return the bikes to. Took us way off of our route to return the bikes. We missed a scheduled tour.

Decent, but with a major flaw. The app tells you how many bikes and how many open docks are available. That's vital info. Without it, you can know whether a bike will be available to you or where you can drop off your bike. The problem is, the app's info is very rarely correct, particularly regarding the number of open docks. I had multiple occasions where I went to drop off a bike only to discover that although the app says there are 3 open docks, there are really only 2 and both are broken!
