Sacramento Transit Advocates and Riders (STAR) – increase ridership and expand accountability
Description: by foot, bicycle, and public transit (car-free!)
I noticed this morning that Bird Bikeshare bikes have shown up in Sacramento. The ones I saw and show up in the Bird app are in midtown, though there may be ones elsewhere. Bird devices are primarily in the central city of Sacramento, with some further out and in West Sacramento. After selecting a device, the use boundary shows up, a light blue background outlined with a blue line. Though it is more detailed, it is generally east to Power Inn Rd/Howe Ave, south to Fruitridge Rd, west to ship channel in West
The app does not seem to have the ability that the Lime app does of selecting for just bikes or just scooters. Since the scooters are far more common, they may cover up the bike icons, and you will have to scroll around and zoom in to find bikes.
Bird has a community pricing membership for low income riders in Sacramento, 50% off rides. The access program with a low cost membership and limited free rides is not yet available in Sacramento. Bird bikes and scooters are $1 to rent and $0.49 per minute. There also seems to be a promotional 25% off.
