Google Maps brings real-time bikeshare information to more cities

In the past few years, bikesharing has gone mainstream. There are about 1,600 bikeshare systems and more than 18 million shared bikes around the world. Google is now rolling out a new feature in Google Maps that will allow bikesharing users to locate bikesharing stations and see exactly how many bikes are available at a station in real-time. Google Maps can also give information on whether there’s an empty space at a station near your destination for you to leave your bike.

This feature is now available in the following 24 cities in 16 countries: Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Chicago, Dublin, Hamburg, Helsinki, Kaohsiung, London, Los Angeles, Lyon, Madrid, Mexico City, Montreal, New Taipei City, New York City, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco Bay Area, São Paulo, Toronto, Vienna, Warsaw and Zurich.
