Please remove public racks from the City Explorer
In the City Explorer view for Chicago, about half of the "Divvy stations" are not actually stations at all. They're just public bike racks. You can lock an ebike here without a fee, but you can't get or leave a classic bike. They shouldn't show up in the City Explorer. In the Lyft last mile API json (https://s3.amazonaws.com/lyft-lastmile-production-iad/lbs/chi/station_information.json) these are indicated with: "rack_model": "CITY_PUBLIC_RACK" And in the GBFS station information feed (https://gbfs.divvybikes.com/gbfs/en/station_information.json) they are indicated by: "station_type": "lightweight", "has_kiosk": false In the Graph QL API (https://account.divvybikes.com/bikesharefe-gql) they're also indicated as "lightweight", but so are e-bike only stations. Fortunately the station name always seems to start with "Public Rack", so they can still be distinguished by the name prefix e.g.: { "stationId": "motivate_CHI_1806749740082741752", "stationName": "Public Rack - Milwaukee Ave & Lawrence Ave", "location": { "lat": 41.967385, "lng": -87.760169, "__typename": "Location" }, "bikesAvailable": 0, "bikeDocksAvailable": 2, "ebikesAvailable": 0, "totalBikesAvailable": 0, "isValet": false, "isOffline": false, "isLightweight": true, "siteId": "", "ebikes": [], "lastUpdatedMs": 1682970704000, "__typename": "Station" } Here is a google maps example of what one of these "stations" looks like, i.e. it's just a city rack: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jmnHeaqnbtQ32QDM9 Please remove these from the map in the bike share mobile app. They're too many, too visually noisy, and not useful. Those city racks are almost always empty, so all they do is put a whole bunch of "Zero" pins on the map and obscure the real stations, like you can see in the screenshot below - the pin near the CTA station is a "real" bike share station, but all the zero pins on S Pulaski Rd are just public racks.
Improve the Citi Bike Map
Problem: In the Citi Bike map (in the app) it is almost impossible to tell traffic flow direction for streets when browsing the map, an arguably important piece of information when biking in NYC. Similarly, reading street names is just as hard with them only appearing if you zoom in almost all the way! The green bike lane lines cover the street arrows which indicate the direction of traffic (I've circled two arrows that are being covered). Also, only two street name labels are showing here: Suggestions: Make it easier to see the traffic flow arrows by either making the direction arrows easier to see (change color, size, etc) or allow users to toggle the green bike lane overlay on the map on and off Make it easier to see/read street names and prioritize them over places of interest Add a toggle to show/hide places of interest on the map (restaurants, hotels, stores, etc) Lastly, an argument against improving the current experience might be to user the "directions" feature which will give you a correct route but to that I say that sometimes we just want to do an ad-hoc bike ride. Secondly, bike angels (like me) would love to better see street names and traffic flow directions I don't really use the directions feature because there's no way to simply put a pin on the map or tap on a station as your start and end address; we must type in the address which is time-consuming.Please add map filter option to display classic bikes only.
The Divvy map filter has options to show ebikes only, scooters only, or all bikes. There is notably no option for showing classic bikes only. That would be a useful filter, to hide all the noise from ebikes and scooters from the map. Chicago is flat, many users will only take an ebike/scooter as a last resort if there is no classic bike available, because the classic bikes are free for members. Please add a filter for classic bikes only. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JYKrjP9tjgAYour Year Unwrapped
How many points did you earn last year? How many streaks did you hold? Share your stats with in the comments below! Big shout out to milly for proposing this idea. I was able to promote this idea internally when a similar conversation was happening, and the feature was born. 👼 Your feedback directly inspired this change!
Bay Wheels app shows remaining time inconsistently ; could it show the end time or maybe minutes lef
On my Bay Wheels app, it's hard to tell exactly when my streak will end since it generally shows hours remaining. Also sometimes it shows a different number of hours depending on which screen you're on! Could this be updated to show the hours and minutes remaining? And/or the end time?
Divvy Cash for Points Please
Thank you. Please, implement Divvy points for cash as is available in some other markets. Please, would someone here with the ability to forward, request, argue, beg, the people who make Lyft decisions make this happen. Thank you. In a few days I banked enough points for a years worth of membership extensions. Since those days, I have not been on a Divvy Bike Angels ride. Sure, not much different than just riding for 80pts a month, but if there was a cash incentive, or some other options to redeem Lyft credits, I'd be out redistributing bikes everyday. Just saying. Thank you.Joyriders and All Access
Regarding the Joyriders 15-minute extension for classic bike rides. Remco previously wrote: "The Lyft Pink upsell/included benefits message is not aware of your Joyrider status. If you have Joyrider status, you'll get an additional 15 minutes on classic bike rides for both membership types." Link: Will Lyft Pink Access All Market? | Bike Angels I currently have the Joyrider perk and an All-Access Pass, and the Citibike app still shows a 45-minute ride limit, while the Divvy app correctly shows 60 minutes. Can you clarify this, please? Based on Remco's post, we thought the 45-minute limit was only reflected in the "Lyft Pink upsell/included benefits message," and once approved as a Lyft All-Access Pass member, the Citibike app would update to reflect the full 60 minutes. I understand that promotional messaging did not recognize my Joyrider status, but now that I'm a confirmed Lyft All-Access Pass member, shouldn't the Citibike app reflect the 60 minutes per Remco's explanation?
