Ratings and reviews

I really appreciate how they didn't give me any trouble with refunding when their system screwed up and caused me to be unfairly billed - hence 2 stars, not just 1 star. I'm now taking a break, I stopped subscribing for the first time, because I don't have the time and energy to deal with such unreliable commuting infrastructure. It's too much of a gamble each time. Hopefully it will be more reliable next year? Then I'll try again, and subscribe if they've fixed it properly.

So much money for such a bad service. PubliBike used to be quick and reliable. Since the switch: barely any bikes, rarely e-bikes, and when there is one you often can't unlock it or it's beaten to pieces. I've been late to meetings too many times. Worst case: heading to the train station for a flight, the app couldn't unlock a bike and I almost missed a CHF 2000 flight. Expensive, unreliable, very frustrating. Not recommended.

bike was broken and I wasn't warned about it. it's not intuitive how to report. you have to finish the ride first, but I could only figure this out after trial and error, during which the rise is still running and charging me. when finally ride finished, filing the report was a pain, slow, UI jumping from one place to another, not clear which fields are mandatory and which aren't. uploading a picture results in error of "bad format", even if picture is in one of the listed formats.
