How much does a jump bike cost?
Now the bikes are free to unlock, but users have to pay $0.30 a minute from the start. The change increases the cost of an hour ride to $18 from $4.10. Pricing has also gone up in other cities including Los Angeles, where Jump prices increased to $0.30 a minute from $0.15.Jul 19, 2019
