Ridescout—the transportation app that aggregates all your transportation options into one place—quietly rolled out a new update to its software on Tuesday that’ll help make life just a tad easier for Capital Bikeshare users.
The updates to the app, specifically to Bikeshare users, will alert you when the Bikeshare dock you’re planning to drop your bike off at fills up. Additionally, the new app update will also alert you when you’re nearing the 30 minute mark on your Bikeshare trip (the first 30 minutes of each trip is free for members), and send you a notification when 25 of your 30 minutes are up..
ICYMI: @ridescout released app update w/ new bikeshare features: alerts when dock @ your destination fills up & when you’re nearing 30 mins

Now you’ll know when there’s only one space left at the docking station right by your house so you’ll be able to aggressively bolt through the city trying to snag it. God speed.
