About me and this site

This site was created to collect and display information about the Capital Bikeshare (CaBi) system.

I am a cycling enthusiast, district resident, geek, and Capital Bikeshare member. I started cabitracker.com after seeing stations around DC run full or go empty, particularly around rush-hour. I wanted to get a better understanding of how each station was being used and when, so I built this site to better inform you about the CaBi system. I have copied my work for this site to HubwayTracker.com, MelbourneBikeshareTracker.com, and bikesharetracker.com/london.

Commuters can determine when the station near home runs empty and when the station near work gets full and vice-versa.

The company that runs CaBi operations, alta, can use the status page to see presently full or empty stations along with graphs of expected usage that can assist in system rebalancing (picking up bikes from full stations and delivering bikes to empty stations).

DDOT and Arlington can determine usage patterns and identify stations that would benefit from expansions.
