Citi Bike is starting 2025 with another price increase, marking the fourth consecutive year the service has raised its rates. The bike-share service, which is operated by Lyft, raised its fees on Monday, with prices increasing from 24 cents to 25 cents per minute for Citi Bike and Lyft members, and from 36 cents to 38 cents per minute for non-members. The price of single ride passes and day passes will also rise to $4.99 and $25, respectively, effective February 3.
In January 2024, Citi Bike raised prices for its annual membership, unlock fees, e-bike charges, and overtime fees. This was followed by a price hike for e-bikes in July, attributed to “higher than anticipated battery swapping, insurance, and vehicle expenses.”
Last month, Citi Bike announced a major expansion that will bring the bike-share service to 900,000 more New Yorkers in the outer boroughs. In the fall of 2025, Citi Bike will come to underserved neighborhoods like Brownsville and Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, Norwood and Riverdale in the Bronx, and areas west of Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens.
