Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (“Blue Cross”) and the City of Boston are offering Bluebikes unlock codes to provide people with an alternative method of transportation during the MBTA Green Line closure.

The unlocks are available to non-members of Bluebikes and can be redeemed for both classic bikes and the innovative ebikes. The unlocks offer riders five free 30-minute Bluebikes pedal rides or ability to unlock ebikes (a per-minute charge will apply for ebike usage after the unlock), and are available for use only during the closure and while supplies last.             

 

Blue Cross is the title sponsor of Bluebikes, which is public transportation by bike. The system is municipally owned by thirteen cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts, jointly managed by the Cities of Boston, Cambridge, Everett, and Somerville and the Town of Brookline, and operated under contract by Lyft.  

 

Individuals can access the five free unlocks using code MBTAGREENDEC in the rewards section of 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.
