"We really wanted to ramp up our biking information in the app," said Stephen Miller, the company's policy lead. "Obviously we are used for public transit, but it also means being able to walk and bike and make these types of connections."
The pandemic and the subsequent bike boom exposed what many advocates already knew - that cycling is a viable and cheaper transit option and a way to get people out of cars.
For many riders, one of the first obstacles can be finding a safe route for travel. "People aren't going to bike if they don't feel like there's a safe place to get to work without having a scary or unpleasant experience on a busy road," said Colin Browne.
'How do I figure out how to get somewhere?' is actually a question that we hear a lot," Browne said.
