Description
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 Access Pass Membership

I've been an annual CaBi subscriber for over 10 years now. I absolutely love the service it provides. And the app has been instrumental to that. It shows me bikes available at stations when I'm riding shows me what stations are around and if they have free spots to dock, and keeps track of various other statistics.

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.

Frustrating Experience – Not Worth the Hassle I wouldn’t recommend Capital Bike share. We wasted a good chunk of our one-day trip just trying to find an open station to return the bikes—many were either full or completely closed. When we finally found one and locked the bikes in place, the return didn’t register in the app, causing more confusion. On top of that, two out of the three people in our group had their apps crash mid-ride. We ended up ditching the bikes and using Lime instead.

It is not super reliable in terms of the docks, especially if there has been snow/rain. I have had issues with the bike saying it is unlocked and charging me when it is stuck in the dock. I have had issues with the bike not docking and my ride continues without stopping. The customer service employees were polite but did very little to fix/resolve the problem. If you don't need to be somewhere, and you want to enjoy the city away from the metro sure, otherwise would not recommend.
