Bluebikes
About
Bluebikes Salem is an extension of Metro Boston’s public bike share system, bringing the same bikes and app to Salem. Riders pick any available classic bike or e-bike at a station, unlock it by scanning its QR code in the Bluebikes app or with a key or kiosk, and return it to any dock with an open space. A green lock-in light confirms the bike is secured.
Across the region, Bluebikes has more than 5,000 bikes and nearly 600 stations in 13 municipalities, and Salem’s stations belong to that same system. The program pitches riding as an easy, affordable way to explore and as an option for getting to work or school, with the bike dropped off at the destination. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts sponsors the system for the health and wellness of the community.
