About this app

The official app for Divvy, Chicago’s bike share system.

Divvy consists of a fleet of specially designed, sturdy and durable bikes that are locked into a network of docking stations throughout the city. Our bikes can be unlocked from one station and returned to any other station in the system, making them ideal for one-way trips. Bikeshare is a greener, healthier way to get around — whether you’re commuting, running errands, meeting friends, or exploring in a new city.

The Divvy App gives you access to thousands of bikes in your area — unlock and pay directly from the app and get going.

The Divvy App also shows upcoming public transit departures, including CTA ‘L’ train lines, local & express buses, shuttle buses, the Jeffery Jump Bus, Metra trains, PACE buses and the South Shore Line train.

Within the app, you can purchase the following Divvy passes:

Happy riding!

Ratings and reviews

Divvy bikes are the biggest ripoff. They make massive bank on hidden fees and misleading pricing. For example, $0.42/minute sounds cheap, right? Well if you go for an hour bc you can't find an approved place to park it, it'll cost you $30 (plus fees) to go a few miles in the city. An Uber is like half that for the same distance in way less time. If you reserve a bike for 10 minutes, they'll charge you for that as well, with no upfront disclosure. First and last time we'll use Divvy bikes.

After one year of using, this app finally does everything it's supposed to. I have no problems finding stations, the timer helps me stay in my time, unlock codes work every time I need them (though I usually use my key dongle), and finally the ride history stats actually work. For a year, I gave this app 2 stars and was very frustrated. I'm happy that I can now write a better review! Based on recent poor reviews, it seems to work better if you have an annual pass like I do.

I was able to buy a pass to ride ONCE. Every other time, as countless other reviews have said, the "Complete Purchase" button won't become available to click. Customer service was completely unhelpful, telling me to email over a screenshot and the developers would look into it, as if they aren't already aware. To top it all off, I still haven't found a single card reader on one of the docks that works, so you literally have no way to get a bike out. A great idea with terrible execution.
