A city bike is a convenient complement to standard public transport. There are almost 90 stations to choose from, and their current filling can be seen on the system page (https://bikes-srm.pl/en/station-map/). It can be used from March to November. Using a city bike is not only convenient, but also inexpensive - the first 20 minutes of the ride is free, and riding below an hour costs PLN 1. The full price list of using a city bike can be viewed here (https://bikes-srm.pl/en/price-list/). Registration in our system is extremely easy - just fill out a short form (https://bikes-srm.pl/en/rejestracja/) and deposit PLN 20 to start. Then the SMS comes with a 6-digit PIN and the login is the phone number. People who are already registered in city bike systems in cities where Nextbike is the operator do not need to register - their accounts are also valid in Szczecin. The account on a city bike works on a pre-paid basis (like a prepaid phone) - after renting a vehicle, the funds are removed from our account.
