Big Time City Your Ultimate Guide to the City!
New York City is going to join other big cities across the world like Montreal, London, Frankfurt and Stockholm by expanding transportation and creating a bike share program.
The program will consist of 600 stations with 10,000 bikes located in Manhattan, Brooklyn and potentially Queens, Staten Island and the Bronx. Users of the service will be able to sign up for a membership or sign out a bike using their credit card. When you are finished riding the bike, you simply return it to a bike share station.
The bikes are built for stability and not speed. The project, that is funded by private sponsorship is open to suggestions about improving the service and for the next two weeks, New Yorker’s will be given the opportunity to test out how the bike share program is going to work.
Try this out and give them your feedback.
