PubliBike

“Ideal for companies like us”

With PubliBike, companies can provide their employees with free rental bikes around the clock.

With PubliBike in Berne, Swiss Post and the Swiss Federal Railways provide their employees with free rental bikes. But all of the city's residents benefit from the eight PubliBike stations. PostBus is Switzerland's largest bike sharing service provider.

Get to that meeting in the city as fast as possible, go to the old town for lunch, or go swimming in the Aare in the summer. In the city of Berne, the PubliBike network expanded from two to eight stations in 2013. Customers can borrow a total of 23 e-bikes and 15 bikes – 24 hours a day. All of Berne's stations are located directly in front of Swiss Post and SBB buildings. The bikes are really easy to borrow with a staff ID card or a PubliBike card available at reception. In months with ideal weather, up to 1,000 bikes are borrowed across Berne's entire PubliBike network.

For cities and companies

Multiple well-connected PubliBike stations bring real added value to a city. But they have great benefits for companies too. “This is exactly what bike sharing is for: short trips within the city – ideal for companies like us, with several locations and a range of partners”, says Jeannine Pilloud, Head of the Passenger Transport Division at SBB.

Expanding the e-bike share

PostBus operates PubliBike together with its partners SBB and Rent a Bike. With well over 100 stations, PubliBike is the Swiss number one in bike sharing. PubliBike is the only Swiss bike sharing provider with e-bikes in its fleet. PubliBike is planning to cater to the growing trend for e-bikes and is continually expanding the number of e-bikes available.
