Into Spring with Citybike Wien
City bikes are available for use 12 months a year and are especially popular now with the begin of spring.
The basis for the positive development of the success project Citybike Wien is the infrastructure, consisting of 121 stations with 3,115 boxes which offer 1,500 bikes. Through this it has been possible to further increase the number of trips, which has surpassed the 1 million marker again. With around 130,000 new members it was possible to set a new record as well. Partly responsible for that has been the new option to sign up through the use of smartphones, which is being used more often.
Head of Citybike Wien Hans-Erich Dechant is happy about the great popularity of Citybike Wien: “The continued success is due to our system and service optimization as well as our online offer to sign up with the use of a smartphone. The many positive responses and valuable suggestions of the Citybike Wien users are great motivation to continue working on what we offer and make the service even more user-friendly.”
