NYC's Essential Workers Can Now Get Free Citi Bike Memberships for One Year
"Citi Bike, in collaboration with ride-sharing app Lyft, provides free memberships for medical workers through their Critical Workers Program. The initiative, bolstered by a $1 million donation from Mastercard and Citi, extends free 30-day memberships to one year for essential workers and includes those working at food support non-profits. The program aims to expand bikeshare access in underserved areas, such as the Bronx and Upper Manhattan, with additional stations near Lincoln Hospital and Harlem Hospital. The membership allows unlimited 45-minute rides and typically costs $169 annually. Citi Bike is also enhancing the cleaning frequency of its bikes and offering valet services at hospital stations for disinfection." - Travel + Leisure Editors
