MiBici Extends First-Trip Window to 45 Minutes for Easter Weekend

Officials frame the change as a push for holiday cycling with easier park access.

Overview

  • MiBici, which announced the change Thursday, will offer a 45‑minute first ride from Friday to Sunday across the Guadalajara metro area.
  • Users will not pay extra for the longer first trip during the three-day period.
  • Officials said they acted after Semana Santa usage rose to 32,217 trips between April 2 and 5.
  • Under normal terms, rides up to 30 minutes are included in a pass and longer trips trigger extra fees, which remain the baseline outside this weekend.
  • Stations connect directly to parks such as Ávila Camacho, Revolución, Zuno, and Parque de las Estrellas, making longer leisure rides easier.
