The system, operated by Lyft, is made up of primarily e-bikes.
Fort Worth, Texas just launched its new bike share system, reports Tahera Rahman for NBC DFW.
The new 400-bike system includes 90 percent e-bikes and 10 percent traditional bikes and offers annual passes, flex passes, and pay-as-you-go passes.
The system is owned by Trinity Metro and operated in partnership with Lyft Urban Solutions. It uses fixed stations, “Which means, much like transit, riders will have a predictable place to check out a bike and return a bike so that they can actually plan their trip,” according to Caroline Samponaro, Lyft Urban Solutions head of external affairs.
