Residents can access free unlocks for pedal or ebikes now through Friday, May 10

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (“Blue Cross”) and the City of Boston are providing Bluebikes unlock codes to residents aimed to help people move around the region and alleviate the impact of rapid transportation disruptions with the Red Line closure.

The unlocks are available to non-members of Bluebikes and can be redeemed for both traditional pedal bikes and the innovative ebikes (per minute fees apply). The unlocks are available for use only during the closure and while supplies lasts.

Blue Cross is the title sponsor of Bluebikes, which is a publicly-owned bikeshare system owned by the municipalities and operated by Lyft. 

Now through Friday, May 10, 2024, individuals can access the five free unlocks using code MBTAREDMAY through the Bluebikes app; these credits are available to all, regardless of residency, and can be used across the system’s 13 municipalities: Arlington, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Newton, Revere, Salem, Somerville, and Watertown.
