We were there! Our CEO also took part in an interview. Relive this highlight by watching the video!

The Lugano-Malcantone PubliBike network is being expanded from 39 to 45 stations. The following stations will be added to the Lugano-Malcantone PubliBike: Parco Ciani, Via Loco, Lanchetta, Via Vignola, Davesco-Via Vecchio Tram. The Lamone-Cadempino FFS station will be set up at a later date.

The locks on our bikes will soon be completely updated. During the month of May, the bikes will be updated one after the other, between 23:00 and 6:00. It is therefore possible that during this time slot, some bikes may not be available.

The e-bike fleet in Bern is complete again. After a few weeks of interruption we are happy to be able to put our e-bikes back into operation and thank you for your understanding.

This year, the PubliBike network in Région de Nyon will double from 13 to 27 stations. In 2021, the network will increase to 50 stations, for a total of 300 bikes, half of them electric.

In cities PubliBike is an alternative to public transport during the Corona crisis. Nevertheless, the number of bike-sharing trips has also fallen because many customers have set up home offices.

Today we celebrate the 50th Earth Day. This day is an opportunity to reflect on solutions to preserve our planet. Sorting, composting, recycling, eating local, favouring public transport and biking are some of the possible solutions in order to protect the environment.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have put in place several measures to protect our employees and partners, while ensuring the operation of our 8 national networks.

The University Hospital of Zürich and PubliBike join forces to support the health care staff during their movements.

Unfortunately, we have to set up a restricted service in the Berne network, because our logistics partner puts some employees on leave to protect them against coronavirus, due to cantonal regulations.

Providing quality service in these exceptional circumstances is a major challenge. It's only possible thanks to the commitment of our employees and partners.

In Zurich, refugees learn how to cycle. Some courses use PubliBike's robust and comfortable bikes.

Starting this summer we will expand our network in Zurich. There will be 17 bike sharing stations in the municipalities of Dübendorf, Opfikon, Wallisellen and Kloten.

National Digital Day will take place again on 3 September 2019. For the third time, the whole day will focus on digitisation.

The PubliBike Agglo Fribourg-Freiburg network was expanded from 9 to 21 stations. 

This year, summer temps arrived later than expected. But now that sunny days have returned, chilling during the long-awaited summer evenings, diving in cool waters or eating a delicious ice cream are activities which can be enjoyed again. Why not experience all these things in a new city?

On Saturday, 25 May 2019, the cup ceremony took place at the Stade de Suisse in Bern and was celebrated extensively. There was a special surprise during the half-time break. 

I still remember it very well. For me, the trip to the BEA has always been one of the highlights of the year: going there with public transport, the Ferris Wheel (even if most of the time, I only admired it from the ground), watching how the Berlin balls, as well as all the works of art made of vegetables in the Green Centre, are made.

The PubliBike Lugano-Malcantone network will be further expanded from 31 to 38 stations. Seven new workstations will be operational on 29 March.

"Züri Velo" has grown to 112 stations and 1400 bikes in its first year. Since April 2018, customers have made around 270,000 trips.

Each station consists of a terminal and docking stations where you can identify yourself and remove or return your bike. The terminal shows you the nearest stations and sales points for purchasing day passes.

Now that the days are warmer again, the idea of using your bike more often doesn't seem completely out of place to you either? Whether you are a complete newcomer to the cycling scene or a seasoned bike fanatic, come join us at the Urban Bike Festival, where everything revolves around bikes.

Today, 15 March 2019, Köniz became the first  municipality in the agglomeration of Bern with a bike sharing network.

There are already over 300 stations throughout Switzerland where you can borrow a bike or e-bike. But how long does it take for a station to actually be ready and why are there places in a network without a station? 

On 25 October 2018, Digital Day will enter its second round and we will be back in Zurich. Visit our stand at Sihlpost and take part in our "Digital Hunt" competition.

The last late summer days are over and autumn has arrived. Before time flies far too quickly again, I would like to take full advantage of the sunny autumn days. To do that, you don't have to travel far at all. 

September is here! The holidays are already over and this year, we can say that we had a truly beautiful summer. We hope that your batteries are fully recharged and that you're keen to devote some time to sports once you return to work!

Today, we are inaugurating our new Lugano-Malcantone network, a project to extend the Lugano network to Basso Malcantone and Vedeggio, involving many municipalities and companies.

This morning, PubliBike and the agglomeration of Freiburg, together with media and guests from the public and private sector, inaugurated the new bike sharing network "Agglo Fribourg-Freiburg". After a few weeks of modernization work, the newly expanded network is open again!

From being a marginal system just ten years ago, bike sharing has now become an essential feature of most large urban areas and far from being an exception to the rule, Switzerland is now an integral part of the movement.

Today, Thursday 28 June, the "Velo Bern" network was officially opened together with the main sponsors, the Migros Aare cooperative and Swiss Post, invited guests and media representatives.

Starting today, the six stations in the municipalities of Agno, Caslano, Manno, Magliaso and Sorengo are finally ready for you. In the coming weeks five additional stations will be gradually integrated into the network.

Perfectly situated between Lausanne and Geneva, the town of Nyon is the ideal starting point to discover one of Switzerland’s most beautiful regions. From lakeshore rides and forest trips to terrace strolls and cultural visits, follow the guide and embark on a tailor-made tour à la PubliBike!

After a long wait and a positive decision from the city administration, installation of the bike sharing locations began on 7 May. At the end of June, the first 60 stations with about 700 bikes will be in service.

More good news! On 13 June 2018 PubliBike’s modernized system will be in the La Côte network too.

It’s official! PubliBike won the bid to modernize and increase the density of the Agglo Fribourg network.

Together with our main sponsors Zürcher Kantonalbank and ewz, we are looking forward to opening our network «Züri Velo» in Zurich on Friday, April 6th!

It’s time! After last December’s weather surprise caused some delays, PubliBike inaugurated the modernized network in Sion today, Wednesday March 21!

The PubliBike station Piazza Stazione in Tesserete will be out of service from the 12 February until the 18 February because of the Carnival festivities. It in service again on Monday 19 February.

Thanks for your understanding.

PubliBike unveils its new system on the networks in Lausanne-Morges and Lugano! Important new features await you – upgraded stations, new bikes and e-bikes, a new app and much more… 

Starting 30 November, a brand new system including e-bikes awaits you! In order to perform the needed improvements, all existing stations located on the EPFL/UNIL campus will be closed as of 28 August and the bikes will be removed from the campus. You can still use the other stations of the network until 15 October, when the entire Lausanne-Morges network will be closed.

The civic authorities in Bern and the company PubliBike AG have agreed on the next stages in the implementation of the Velo Bern bike hire scheme. 

The city council has approved the agreement and is sending the city parliament an application for a loan to finance the undertaking. The launch of what will be Switzerland’s largest bike sharing system is planned for May 2018. The scheme ultimately envisages a fleet of 2,400 bikes available from around 200 stations. 

It's offical! PubliBike has been chosen to modernize and densify La Côte's bikesharing network. 50 stations and 320 bikes, including 160 electric bikes, will be deployed in 2018.

The city of Lugano has asked PubliBike to expand its network from 13 to 46 stations. The planning process with the city will begin shortly.

Given the winning tenders in Zurich and Berne and the selection process in Geneva all blocked by appeals, this news is very timely: The city of Lugano has asked us to expand its bike-sharing network from 13 to 46 stations. We will install our new system, which is currently being developed. Half the fleet of 560 bikes planned for Lugano will be e-bikes.
