Bike Share Programs

What’s Bike-Share? 

Bike share programs make public bikes available for shared use to individuals on a short-term basis. The bikes can be unlocked from one location and ridden to other convenient locations across campus, making bike share ideal for short, one-way trips.  

Getting to, from and around campus

Mobi

Mobi's bike share program (with e-bikes!) is now available on the Vancouver campus. Mobi bikes and e-bikes can be docked and undocked at any of Mobi's stations throughout UBC and the City of Vancouver. There are currently 16 Mobi stations on campus, with space for over 300 bikes. 

Members of the UBC community benefit from significant discounts on annual memberships to Mobi, which include an annual pass for unlimited 60-minute rides (Classic & E-bikes) for just $149. This offer is exclusively available to UBC staff, students, and faculty.
