Considering this is a public/private partnership, I’ll be reaching out to appropriate city officials for resolution and awareness of this issue, which I’m sure breeches contractual agreements. What’s the point of having an app if it is completely incorrect. Paying annual members should not have to walk 20-30 minutes to multiple stations just to check to see if there is a bike available.

This appears to be a systemic issue that has last throughout the day even after reporting it. I went to multiple stations: 1) stated on app 3 e-bikes but station was completely empty, 2) another station 5 classic and 2 e-bikes but just had 2 e-bikes marked for repair and then 3) station also had incorrect availability. The most pressing issue is that the app incorrectly displays availability of classic and e-bikes at ALL Divvy stations. I’ve been a paid annual member for several years and it seems Divvy is been falling by the wayside.

Also, be wary of the e bikes because I had a $15 ride recently that was only 5 miles because I happened to be in a higher COL area. You can take a bike out from any station and return it to any other. The bikes actually work, they have decent baskets so if you have a bag to tote it’s not a problem, you can actually find the bikes and there’s plenty of docks. Divvy is the city of Chicagos bike share program that launched in the summer of 2013. I’ve used bike shares in other cities and they are leaps and bounds better than divvy. And then it’s only financially feasible if you pay for the year which if you only use it occasionally is not worth it. I tried using it as my commute to work but the complete lack of dependability on their end meant I was either going to be late or I had to use different transport.

They either have completely full docks so you can’t lock up the bike you have or there’s no bikes available. 361 reviews of Divvy As an avid bike commuter in San Francisco, I was pretty excited to visit Chicago and get a chance to test out their bike sharing.

The e bikes are kind of good but same basket issue and you can never find them or their batteries are dead. The baskets they have are completely useless so you better not have anything that you need to bring with you. Their bikes are insanely heavy and hard to maneuver. If you want to take random rides for fun, I guess it’s fine. Absolutely horrible if you want to rely on it as a form of transportation.
