Lyft adds New York Citi Bikes to its application

This is not surprising given that Lyft acquired Citi Bike's parent company Motivate last year and immediately entered into an agreement to invest $ 100 million in the New York fleet. In a blog post, the company announced that it would soon be extending this new feature to other cities – although there is no estimated schedule for that.

Of course, Lyft is not alone in claiming the success of bike sharing. Last year, Uber acquired Jump. Google Maps and Apple Maps can now help you find bikes for rent. There are still some problems to be solved, such as electric bikes with "more powerful braking than expected," and it's too early to tell if scooter sharing is really promising. But Lyft's commitment to Citi Bikes testifies to the fact that users want more non-automotive options.
