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
Access Pass

Happy riding!

The new update has rendered this app totally unusable. The QR scan functionality doesn't work. I was left stranded when I couldn't unlock a bike, and there was no back-up option to unlock using the keypad. The update also removed the trip planning feature. I can't check for docks near my destination before unlocking a bike. Now, I have to plan my route in a Maps app, then return to the bike app to blindly search in the general area of my destination for a dock. Total design failure.

Can't use the app anymore. The map shows up with no dock/bike information. The public transit tab doesn't produce any results either. My Profile page opens with no issues, but can't get the Ride History refresh to show previous trips. All in all, a broken app, and coincidentally my annual membership is up for renewal, so I'll wait before deciding on to pay for another year.

I've been an annual member for about 10 Years. About 2 months ago it just stopped working. Keyfob didn't work...would just get red light. Tried scanning QR code on handlebars with app and it says "My account is on Hold" I've called multiple times and they tell me my account is fine and working. Also been told to download Lyft App. (That also doesn't work) Sent numerous emails with screenshots of App messages. Haven't received any replies. My Android is up to date. I've reinstalled the app. I can't even go into app or online to look at credit card info or even change credit cards. It was supposed to automatically renew membership on Oct 18 like it has for the past 10 years. It wouldn't even renew. Maybe that's a hint that I should just give up on Capital Bikeshare.
