This May Citi Bike will launch in Hoboken.
Hoboken will now use Citi Bike as its bike-share provider after the City Council adopted a resolution approving the joint agreement with the company and Jersey City.
Starting May 3, Lyft, the owner of Citi Bike, will begin phasing in approximately 200 bikes at 15 stations within the mile-square city.
By this summer, Lyft will add another 100 bikes and another 14 stations for a total of 300 bikes and 29 stations.
“I’m thrilled that Citi Bike is now officially coming to Hoboken,” said Mayor Ravi Bhalla. “The new bike-share system will substantially enhance the ability for residents to travel to transportation hubs, patronize our local businesses, visit family and friends, and get to work. And now, residents can seamlessly utilize Citi Bike in neighboring Jersey City and New York City at no additional cost, providing additional connectivity and convenience for users. Residents have been consistent in their feedback that they wanted Citi Bike to come to Hoboken, and I’m glad we were able to deliver in bringing this program to our Mile Square.”
