Using city bikes in Tricity will soon become even more convenient — the number of Mevo stations will increase in Gdynia. ZTM will also improve bike navigation in Google Maps for Gdańsk.
This summer, 50 new Mevo stations will appear in Gdynia. However, the number of bikes available in the city will remain unchanged.
— Będą one rozmieszczone mniej więcej równomiernie w całym mieście, ale tam, gdzie dotychczas było ich mniej, poprawa będzie szczególnie zauważalna. Mam na myśli w szczególności rejon Chwarzno-Wiczlino, gdzie mieliśmy tylko cztery stacje Mevo. Tutaj możemy spodziewać się nawet podwojenia ich liczby, — powiedział radny miejski Łukasz Piesiewicz.
Additionally, ZTM will improve bike navigation in Google Maps for Gdańsk. The app will gradually incorporate up-to-date data on bike infrastructure, routes, and available connections for trips.
The updates were announced by the ZTM active mobility department on their Facebook profile Rowerowy Gdańsk. They acknowledge that until now, bike navigation in Google in the city often caused problems — routes could go through stairs, ignore main bike paths, or not account for new infrastructure
ZTM encourages users to test the updated routes, warning that errors are still possible. For example, part of the infrastructure is still missing on the map, including the eco-path along Armii Krajowej Avenue
The next step will be the integration with the city bike rental system MEVO. In the future, Google Maps will feature information about stations and the real-time availability of bikes
