How many rides does Citi Bike do per year?

Citi Bike riders took 46,668,570 trips in 2025, the most recent complete year. That is up from 20,984,695 in 2019.

How many Citi Bike members are there?

138,055 annual members as of June 2026. Membership peaked at 167,556 in December 2020 and fell to 127,528 by the end of 2023 before partially recovering — even as annual ridership more than doubled over the same period.

How much revenue does Citi Bike make?

$228,272,804 in 2025, or $4.89 per ride. E-bike fees alone were 42% of that — a line item that did not exist before January 2023.

Where does this data come from?

Citi Bike publishes a monthly operating report as a PDF. Every figure here is parsed from those reports — 149 of them — with nothing modelled, imputed or interpolated. Months Citi Bike never published are shown as gaps rather than filled in.

Citi Bike ridership, month by month

Every published month since the system opened. Drag the handles below the chart to narrow the range — every section on this page follows the selection.

Change vs. the same month a year earlier

Gaps in the line are months with no published report, not months with no riding. Growth is shown against the same month a year earlier: January to June is a 2.4× seasonal climb every single year, so month-on-month change measures the calendar rather than the system.

Member vs. casual rider split

Share of trips taken by annual members against casual riders — day passes, single trips and short-term users.

Annual members
Casual riders

Nine months are blank here and present everywhere else: December 2013, December 2018 and February–August 2021 publish a split that doesn’t add up to their own stated total, by as much as 14%. Seven consecutive months in 2021 is a reporting problem, not a run of typos.

Ridership more than doubled while membership fell

Annual members peaked in 2020 and have never recovered. Rides per year kept climbing anyway — the clearest signal in the whole dataset that the system’s growth is no longer coming from annual memberships.

Rides per year
Annual members

Both series = 100 in 2014. Complete years only — 2016 and 2022 are missing months, so their annual totals aren’t comparable.

Where Citi Bike’s revenue comes from

E-bike fees first appear as their own line in January 2023. By 2025 they are 42% of all revenue — the single largest line in the business.

Memberships
Casual rides
E-bike fees
Lyft Pink
Tax, sponsorship, other

Taken from each report’s Financial Summary table, not its prose: the page-3 revenue sentence names two of nine lines and misstates them often enough to be unusable. Pre-2015 revenue is reported gross and is excluded. E-bike revenue looks like it begins in April 2022 if you trust filenames — that file is a mislabelled copy of the April 2023 report.

Stations, bikes and how hard they work

The system grew from 322 stations to roughly 2,400. Rides per bike per day is computed from trips, fleet size and days in the month.

Active stations2,400

Bikes in service38,926

Rides per bike per day4.71

Not shown: the reports’ own “uses per bike per day” figure. It tracked the arithmetic to within 2% through 2019 and is now off by a factor of two — June 2026 reports 2.53 where the numbers give 4.71 — with no explanation in any report. Also worth knowing: January 2025 reports 2,693 active stations, which both neighbouring months contradict. Those figures are charted as published but are kept out of the records below.

Missing months: April 2016, May 2016, July 2016, August 2016, September 2016, April 2022, February 2026, May 2026. Five of the 2016 gaps were simply never published. April 2022 is different — the file served at that month’s URL is internally titled “April 2023 Monthly Report” and carries April 2023’s figures, so April 2022 is treated as missing rather than duplicated. February and May 2026 had not been published when this data was last refreshed.

Common questions

How many rides does Citi Bike do per year?: Citi Bike riders took 46,668,570 trips in 2025, the most recent complete year. That is up from 20,984,695 in 2019.
When is Citi Bike busiest?: September, not July. Averaged over 10 complete years, September runs 1.39× an average month and February runs 0.50×. The gap between the busiest and quietest month has narrowed from about 5× in 2014 to under 3× today.
How many Citi Bike members are there?: 138,055 annual members as of June 2026. Membership peaked at 167,556 in December 2020 and fell to 127,528 by the end of 2023 before partially recovering — even as annual ridership more than doubled over the same period.
How much revenue does Citi Bike make?: $228,272,804 in 2025, or $4.89 per ride. E-bike fees alone were 42% of that — a line item that did not exist before January 2023.
Where does this data come from?: Citi Bike publishes a monthly operating report as a PDF. Every figure here is parsed from those reports — 149 of them — with nothing modelled, imputed or interpolated. Months Citi Bike never published are shown as gaps rather than filled in.

Methodology

Source: the monthly operating reports Citi Bike publishes at citibikenyc.com/system-data/operating-reports. Figures come from the narrative pages and the Financial Summary table of each PDF. Nothing is modelled, imputed or interpolated.

Where a report contradicts itself, the printed value is kept and the contradiction is recorded. A figure is only substituted when a second number in the same report independently settles which one is the typo — five cases in 149 months. The July 2021 report, for example, prints a total of 30,827,926 trips; both its own rides-per-day figure and its member/casual split agree on 3,087,910, so that is what is charted.

Some series are deliberately absent. The reports’ “uses per bike per day” has disagreed with its own arithmetic by up to 2× since 2023. Casual signups changed meaning in April 2018, when single-trip passes began counting as signups. Rebalancing was redefined in November 2018. Each would produce a chart showing a change in reporting as though it were a change in the system.

Citi Bike is operated by Lyft. biking.city is not affiliated with either. Data last refreshed 2026-08-19.
