Residents can access free unlocks for pedal or ebikes now through Thursday, June 6

 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (“Blue Cross”) and the City of Boston are providing Bluebikes unlock codes to help people move around the region and alleviate the impact of rapid transportation disruptions with the Orange 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 bike share system owned by the municipalities and operated by Lyft. 

Now through Thursday, June 6, 2024

Individuals can access the five free unlocks using code MBTAORANGEMAY through the Bluebikes app; these credits can be used across the system’s 13 municipalities: Arlington, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Newton, Revere, Salem, Somerville, and Watertown.
