Citi Bike

Bike sharing and city navigation

Citi Bike helps people find, unlock, and return shared bikes across New York City. It suits daily commuters, visitors, and anyone covering short trips between subway stops, workplaces, neighborhoods, and destinations that are less convenient by rail or bus.

What the app helps with

• View nearby Citi Bike stations on a map.
• Check live bike availability and open dock spaces before starting a trip.
• Unlock a bike from the app instead of relying on a physical key.
• Manage access options ranging from individual rides to longer-term memberships.
• Use transit information for MTA subways, buses, LIRR, PATH, and NYC Ferries alongside bike-share data.

Useful for planning the whole journey

The app is more than a station finder. Its transit information can help fill gaps in a route, while live station details make it easier to choose where to begin and where to end a ride. That combination is especially practical when a trip involves both Citi Bike and public transportation.

What the numbers show

With 1,000,000+ installs and a 4.70 rating from 6,641 ratings, Citi Bike has sustained strong activity among Android users. The app is developed by Lyft, Inc. and is listed under Maps & Navigation, fitting its role as both a bike-share companion and an urban trip-planning tool.
