So here's my honest take on Citi Bike. I've tested a bunch of transit and navigation apps and this one's pretty good overall. It's got all the features you'd expect - finding stations, unlocking bikes, checking schedules. The interface is clean and easy to use. In my experience, the bikes are reliable and the app usually works well. The only real downsides are the occasional technical issues and the weight of the bikes, which can be a pain. But if you need a convenient way to get around NYC, Citi Bike is definitely worth trying.

Description

I’ve been using Citi Bike for a couple months now. It’s basically a bike sharing system where you can rent bikes all around the city and take one-way trips. Pretty solid app if you’re into getting around without a car.

Here’s what you do: you can find nearby bike stations on the map, unlock bikes right from the app, and just drop them off at any other station when you’re done. And there’s also transit info like subway and bus schedules, which is pretty cool. And you can even plan routes – took me a while to figure that out but it’s useful.

Look, if you live in or visit NYC, you’ll probably get a lot of use out of Citi Bike. It’s not perfect – the bikes can be a little heavy and the app crashes sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want a greener, healthier way to get around the city.

Gears didn't work on the bike. no docks available at destination, finding another resulted in an additional 30 min walk and a double charge. not worth it

it's good other than it shows ebikes available that are not available and Citibike definitely knows it's not available but still shows them. it makes you travel to the stand...

not really possible to delete personal info!!! they just cycle the answer and don't really help specifically if you are out of USA. Additionally the service relatively to other places...
