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:
Single Ride

Happy riding!

Ratings and reviews

Map tracking/GPS could be more accurate, and instructions for the keypad could be better (it's uncommon to see a keypad with just three digits, I didn't even realize what it was for a few minutes). The app itself works pretty well otherwise, even though I did come across a bug where the code didn't appear when I tried to unlock a bike. I do wish there was an easier way to see if a station is full or totally out beforehand.

Between the train, bus, and divvy you can get anywhere in Chicago. It's very convenient. However, I think the rate is pricey and it's not conducive for longer rides. The bikes are durable but uncomfortable and very slow if you are used to road bikes. I wish they charged for every 15 minutes instead of 30, because a ride that took me 33 minutes cost the same as a 60 minute ride. I think of it wasn't as expensive I would give it a higher review.

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.
