About this app

Bay Wheels is the Bay Area’s premier bikeshare system, and one of the largest in the nation. Get access to thousands of bikes and see public transit schedules around you in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, and San Jose. Best of all, it’s available 24/7.

Bay Wheels consists of a fleet of specially-designed, sturdy, and durable electric bikes that can be accessed throughout the Bay Area, as well as classic bikes that are locked into a network of docking stations in Bay Area cities. Our bikes can be unlocked from one station and returned to any other station in the system, making them ideal for one-way trips. Bikeshare is a greener, healthier way to get around — whether you’re commuting, running errands, meeting friends, or exploring in a new city.

The Bay wheels App gives you access to thousands of bikes in your area — unlock and pay directly from the app and get going. You can also get walking directions and see public transit schedules to help you easily get to bike stations.

The Bay Wheels App also shows upcoming public transit departures, including BART trains, Caltrain rail lines, the Tamien-San Jose shuttle, MUNI buses, MUNI Metro light rail, MUNI cable cars, MUNI trolleys, AC Transit Local & Transbay buses, VTA light rail, VTA Local buses, VTA Rapid buses, VTA Express buses, VTA ACE shuttles, Golden Gate Ferries, Sonoma County Buses, Sonoma County connectors & shuttles, SF Bay Ferries, the Angel Isl. Tiburon Ferry, the SMART train, Marin Transit buses, SamTrans Local & Express buses, Stanford Marguerite buses and the SFO Airtrain.

Bike rides are very expensive for the poorly kept electric bikes. The much bigger issue is that entire bike racks are sometimes unavailable for no discernible reason, which left me stranded. TL;DR: Expensive, Poor Quality, Unreliable

My experience was awesome! The bikes were clean and charged and ready to go. it was just an added convenience that they have stations and every popular location that I go. shout out to motivate employees for their hard work and commitment.

Bike angel points don't reflect true value of the station. Stations that appears neutral could have negative points actually. Long bouts of efforts to keep streaks are lost if you don't quit and reopen the app every time you get on or off a bike to be sure that the points show on screen are the most recent ones. disappointed in wanting to help out the service and to get this level of inconsistency. Find a way to display bike angels points physically on the station or get better at mobile dev.
