Capital Metro, the transportation authority in Austin, Texas, is set to revolutionize its bicycle service this summer with the introduction of CapMetro Bikeshare. This new service aims to provide residents and visitors with improved, sustainable, and convenient transportation options.
As part of the upgrade, the existing MetroBikes will be temporarily suspended to make way for the new CapMetro Bikeshare system. The revamp will feature all-electric bikes, state-of-the-art docking stations, and an intuitive mobile application. With a full launch expected in the fall, the community can look forward to an enhanced biking experience in the coming months.
“We are committed to offering innovative solutions that cater to the transportation needs of Austin,” stated Dottie Watkins, the President and CEO of CapMetro. “CapMetro Bikeshare represents our dedication to providing a more enjoyable and efficient way of navigating our city. By introducing e-assist bikes and improved docking stations, we aim to make biking in Austin more accessible, comfortable, and sustainable.”
The new CapMetro bikes are designed to provide riders with a stable and comfortable journey, ensuring an even better ride than the previous MetroBikes. The service also offers seamless account transfer for existing MetroBike members to CapMetro Bikeshare. Members will receive an email with step-by-step instructions on how to migrate their account to the new system.
To prepare for the transition, CapMetro temporarily paused the purchase of annual and 31-day passes on June 1. This temporary pause ensures a smooth transition and ensures that users are ready to take advantage of the exciting upgrades offered by CapMetro Bikeshare.
With the introduction of CapMetro Bikeshare, Capital Metro reaffirms its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and providing accessible transportation options to the vibrant city of Austin.
