Liverpool awaits launch of new city bike rental scheme

Liverpool's new rental bike scheme will launch soon - with a series of discounts to support users across the city.

Last month, Liverpool Council confirmed it was scrapping the existing CityBike rental scheme in the city to replace it with a new initiative run by Swedish firm Voi, which currently operates e-scooters in the city. The new operation will save the council around £300,000 per year and provide an annual income of around £10,000.

In his report to members, Cllr Dan Barrington, cabinet member for Climate Change and Environment, said a series of discounts have been negotiated to support users across Liverpool. Those on job seekers allowance, income support and universal credit can access the bikes with a 50% discount.
