New York City has joined the ranks of U.S. cities now offering bike-sharing systems. Sponsored by CitiBank and launched on Monday, Citi Bike offers
residents, commuters, and visitors to the “Big Apple” an additional
mobility and urban connectivity option, in the form of 6000 bicycles
parked at 330 stations across Manhattan and Brooklyn — two of NYC’s five
boroughs — making Citi Bike not only the newest, but also the largest
bike-sharing system inaugurated in the US to date.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg
called the Citi Bike program, “a big win for New York,” adding that the
system will give New York residents, “another way to get around town by
extending connectivity from subway and bus stops.” “It’s also going be
great for our millions of visitors,” continued Bloomberg, “ allowing
them another way to see the city, including making our incredible
waterfront more accessible.”
