Pricing
To use Capital Bikeshare, you must first become a member. There are five membership options: 24-hour, 3-day, 30-day, annual or annual installment. Once you're a member, you will get the first 30 minutes of each trip free and pay an additional fee for every 30 minute period thereafter.
Membership and Usage Fees
| Membership Fee | |
|---|---|
| 24-hour | $7 |
| 3-day | $15 |
| 30-day | $25 |
| Annual | $75 |
| Annual with Monthly Installments | $84 (12 monthly payments of $7) |
You can take as many trips as you'd like during your membership period and the first 30 minutes of each trip are free! After the first 30 minutes, you will be charged an additional fee based on the rates shown below. For example, a 90-minute trip would cost you nothing for the 1st 30-minute period, $1.50 for the second 30 minutes, and $3.00 for the third - for a total of $4.50 for the whole trip.
