Hubway Closes in on 1 Million Rides

By Bret Silverberg

With the reach of Boston's bicycle share system growing this year, Hubway is on track to soon cross the 1 million ride threshold.

A July 3 tweet from @Hubway: "Less than 43k trips until your 1 millionth Hubway ride!..." 

Hubway opened in Boston on July 20, 2011. The service recorded 675,000 in its first two active years—the service shuts down between December and March or April depending on weather.

A new Hubway station recently opened in the Charlestown Navy Yard, making a total of three stations in the neighborhood.

Hubway also plans to install a fourth station at Hayes Square, tentatively by September.
