In 2011, PostBus created PubliBike in collaboration with partners SBB and Rent a Bike.

In April 2012, PostBus bought the company Velopass, which at the time was Switzerland's largest self-service bike sharing company, and became the leader in national bike sharing.

In April 2013, the merger of PubliBike and Velopass created the brand PubliBike and thus a uniform offer at the national level.

On 1 January 2014, PubliBike was transformed into a public limited company and operates as an independent subsidiary of PostBus.

In 2016, a new system and business model were put in place. This link gives you access to the description of our current bikes.

Starting in November 2017, the new system was inaugurated throughout Switzerland:

• 18.09.2018 - Lugano-Malcantone (expansion of Lugano's network)
• 05.07.2018 - Sierre
• 04.07.2018 - Agglo Fribourg-Freiburg
• 28.06.2018 - Velo Bern
• 13.06.2018 - La Côte
• 06.04.2018 - Züri Velo
• 21.03.2018 - Sion
• 6.12.2017 - Lugano
• 30.11.2017 - Lausanne-Morges

In 2019, PubliBike is working to increase the density of our networks. Our goal is to reach 500 stations and 5500 bikes by 2020.

With our 8 networks we are present throughout Switzerland: Fribourg, La Côte, Lausanne-Morges, Lugano-Malcantone, Sion, Sierre, Bern with "Velo Bern" and Zurich with "Züri Velo". You can find them on our map or on our PubliBike app.

470 PubliBike stations are distributed throughout Switzerland. There are several types, the descriptions of which are here.

Our fleet of bikes is composed of more than 5'000 bikes. This link provides a description of our bikes and e-bikes. 

Bike sharing is the ideal complement to public and private means of transport for short distances. It helps to relieve traffic congestion in the city center and improves the attractiveness of public transport. In recent years, bike sharing has been gaining popularity worldwide.

In Switzerland, we embody this mobile, urban and sustainable service. With our activities, we aim to contribute to the transformation of mobility and thus find solutions to reduce the impact of transport on the environment.

If you too want to participate in this collective effort, all you have to do is register with PubliBike!
