A transportation app has smartly upgraded its service to include the multiple dockless bikeshare options that hit D.C.’s streets a few weeks ago.

Up until now, cyclists have had to switch from each company’s individual app to find the closest bike.

Transit, an app that links commuters to nearby transportation options like Metrobus, Metrorail, and car-sharing, has added all four new dockless companies to its map for D.C. (Capital Bikeshare docks were already included).

Officials at Transit wrote in a Medium post that they made the enhancement for people in D.C., as well as Seattle, because they have the most bikesharing systems compared to other U.S. cities.

In 2008, the District became the first city in North America with a bikesharing system, SmartBike, which was replaced by the Capital Bikeshare program in 2010. The company launched its first mobile app in August.

China-based dockless bikeshare company Mobike chose D.C. as its first pilot city in the U.S. in September. California-based Spin and LimeBike, as well as Brooklyn-based e-bike company JUMP also launched last month.

Instead of leaving the bikes at docks like Capital Bikeshare, riders can park these two-wheelers anywhere they would a personal bike.

The D.C. Department of Transportation is allowing each dockless bikeshare company to put 400 two-wheelers on the streets during a trial period that runs through April. Meanwhile, Capital Bikeshare is stepping up its presence east of the Anacostia River.

With all of the new biking options, Transit officials noticed “an obvious need to show every service, all in one place.”

The app also has a page for each company that briefs users on what dockless sharing is, price info, and distinctions between each one (you can also check out our post on how each service varies).
