BIZI Public Bicycle Service Saragossa It will be completely operational throughout the city as of this Monday, after completing its expansion with six months of advance on the planned calendar. With 2,500 bicycles and 276 stations distributed throughout the fifteen districts, historically excluded neighborhoods such as Casablanca, Torrero, Miralbueno, Santa Isabel or the Southern District are incorporated for the first time. The implementation has been closed this weekend with the technical activation of the system.
Since its relaunch in January, Bizi Zaragoza has registered more than 1.7 million journeys and 4.3 million kilometers traveled. The bicycles are used on average 14 times a day, a frequency much higher than that of similar cities. The system already has more than 21,000 subscribers annually, to which thousands of occasional users are added. With the extended network, the City Council expects to reach 55,000 subscribers before the end of the year.
The busiest stations are located in nerve points such as Plaza de Spain, Echegaray and Caballero – Puente de Santiago, Coso or Plaza San Francisco. The Municipal Mobility Manager, Tatiana Gaudes, emphasizes that the system has established itself as a key alternative for daily displacements in the main nodes of urban mobility.
The most common profile of the Bizi user is between 25 and 45 years, although younger and more young people between 18 and 24 are added to the service. On the occasion of the expansion, those who have not yet been signed can benefit from a special welcome rate of 30 euros per year, available for a limited time.
