In recent years, with the construction of bicycle lanes throughout the city, the use of bicycles as a means of transport has gained great relevance and has become the preferred option of hundreds of people who choose this way of moving because they consider it more agile and ecological, as well as healthier and more fun.

With the rise of the bicycle came the Ecobicis de Buenos Aires: a bicycle system available to both residents and tourists with stations distributed throughout the city. To use the service, you just have to be over 18 years of age and download the BA Ecobici application by Tembici for iOS and Android. In addition to using the bicycle to simply get around, there are interesting options for walks such as the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, Tres de Febrero Park or Centenario Park, among many others.

Within the framework of the progressive reincorporation of Ecobici stations, from March 2021 30 stations will be reinstalled, in addition to the 200 existing ones, of which twelve will be in the south of the City.In this stage, priority will be given to the surroundings schools and hospitals. In addition, 300 new bicycles will be injected into the system operated by Tembici and sponsored by Itaú and Mastercard. The purchase of passes to use the system on weekends and passes for foreign tourists are now available.

The residents of the City can use the system from Monday to Friday (business days) by selecting the free pass, but they also have the alternative of improving the conditions of their trip on Ecobici by paying an intensive pass to have one hour per trip every day of the week. These passes are optional, not mandatory.
