"Boston residents deserve access to sustainable, affordable transit, and the Boston Bikes Pass will help Bostonians get around the city by removing financial barriers,” said Mayor Wu.
Boston residents who haven't had a Bluebike membership in the last 3 years are eligible for a $60 per year membership, while income-eligible residents will have a reduced rate of $50 per year.
Residents who qualify for MassHealth or SNAP can have the rate reduced to $5 per year.
