Trinity Metro shuttered its current system at the end of November and plans to relaunch with a mostly-electric system.

Fort Worth’s Trinity Metro transit agency is shutting down its current bike share system with the promise of launching a new system in January, reports Eric E. Garcia for KERA News. The new system will include roughly 90 percent electric bikes.
As Garcia explains, “Fort Worth Bike Sharing kicked off in 2013 with 300 bikes at 30 stations, but grew steadily within a decade. The system had more than 400 bikes, including electric and classic models, available to rent through day passes or long-term memberships at about 59 stations.”
The program saw soaring ridership during the Covid-19 pandemic. The system logged 84,073 rides in 2021, compared with 56,348 in 2019.
