About this app

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:
Single Ride

Awful app. Inaccurate / misleading pricing descriptions with no support. Bikes will "pause" when you go into a store, and then be un-ridable when you come back to un-pause. I bought a day pass, misunderstanding that this would work for the days rides...it did not, and I was charged separately for each ride, all the while the app would say that the ride was included. Wherever you are, there must be other options that will work properly, and not rip you off. Avoid this company if at all possible.

I would expect to be able to use this app as a foreign visitor but fell at the first hurdle - it wouldn't use my UK phone number for verification so I can't use the app as there is no email or alternative verification option!

I don't think there's any better service in the dmv area for bike share. my experience has been fantastic. Setting up things was easy and the prize is unbeatable.
