In their bid to promote safe travel, the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) has dramatically reduced the price to use Biketown. Through April 30th, riders can use orange bike share bikes for just 1 cent per minute on the pay-as-you-go plan. For users that have never used Biketown before, the sign-up fee was dropped to just 10 cents from the regular pay-as-you-go price of 8 cents per minute and a $5 dollar sign-up fee. PBOT further stressed that riders should only be using bikes for essential trips and continue to maintain social distancing while out and about.
