纽约市Citi Bike完成扩围：新增230多座站点、3700个车桩 七个社区首次接入共享单车
位于纽约州的纽约市，纽约——纽约市长佐赫兰·曼达尼（Zohran Kwame Mamdani）与市交通局局长迈克·弗林（Mike Flynn）、运营商Lyft于10月15日宣布，共享单车系统Citi Bike完成一轮大规模扩围，在布朗克斯、布鲁克林与皇后区的七个社区新增230多座站点、3700个车桩，这些社区此前没有Citi Bike服务。
七个新覆盖社区为布鲁克林的湾脊（Bay Ridge）、布朗斯维尔（Brownsville）、东纽约（East New York）与肯辛顿（Kensington），布朗克斯的诺伍德（Norwood）与河谷镇（Riverdale），以及皇后区的森林山（Forest Hills）。本轮铺设从湾脊开始、在东纽约收尾；自去年9月首批站点在湾脊启用以来，仅湾脊一地的骑行量已超过7.5万次。
市交通局表示，此次扩围使Citi Bike的覆盖面积增加约10平方英里，总服务面积达到86.5平方英里，全市62%的居民现居住在服务范围之内；所有新站点均采用Lyft新一代的Pillar车桩。Citi Bike总经理帕特里克·克诺特（Patrick Knoth）介绍，在诺伍德的新站点，超过半数的骑行属于优惠票价（Reduced Fare）行程。曼达尼表示，骑行是市民出行的重要方式，此次扩围将方便更多人通勤、上学与就医。
市交通局与Lyft称，今年秋季Lyft还将在现有服务区内增设数百个车桩，为中城、切尔西、威廉斯堡、绿点与高瓦纳斯等高需求社区扩容。

New York City Completes Citi Bike Expansion: 230-Plus Stations and 3,700 Docks Bring Bike Share to Seven Neighborhoods
New York City is located in New York State. New York — Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani, Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Flynn and Lyft announced on October 15 that Citi Bike has completed a major expansion, adding more than 230 stations and 3,700 docks across seven neighborhoods in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens that previously lacked access to the bike-share system.
The seven newly served neighborhoods are Bay Ridge, Brownsville, East New York and Kensington in Brooklyn; Norwood and Riverdale in the Bronx; and Forest Hills in Queens. The rollout began in Bay Ridge and concluded in East New York. Since the first stations opened in Bay Ridge last September, riders there alone have taken more than 75,000 trips.
According to NYC DOT, the expansion adds roughly 10 square miles of coverage, bringing Citi Bike's total service area to 86.5 square miles, and 62 percent of New Yorkers now live within the service area. All new stations feature Lyft's Pillar dock, the company's next-generation station design. Citi Bike General Manager Patrick Knoth said that in Norwood, more than half of trips at the new stations are Reduced Fare trips. Mamdani said the expansion would make it easier for residents to get to work, school, medical appointments and cultural venues.
NYC DOT and Lyft said that this fall Lyft will deploy hundreds of additional docks within the existing service area, adding capacity in high-demand neighborhoods including Midtown, Chelsea, Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Gowanus.
