Lime teams up with Citymapper to make finding e-bikes easier

Finding a Lime bike in your city just got a little easier. 

Lime and Citymapper have partnered up to allow riders to locate Lime e-bikes and scooters within the Citymapper app. 

The integration will roll out across December in 21 cities including London, Manchester, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Austin, Washington DC, St Louis, Sydney, Paris, Lisbon, Brussels, Madrid, Stockholm, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Vienna, and Berlin.

Citymapper users will be able to find Lime's vehicles within the app, but if you want to book them, you'll have to switch over to the Lime app to rent one, then switch back to Citymapper or a navigation app to find the best bike-friendly route to your destination. It's not the most convenient process, but personally, I have a sneaking suspicion Citymapper's navigational accuracy might have something over the Lime app's location services.  Read more...
