Szczecinek
City Bike

The Szczecinek City Bike has been operating in Szczecinek since 2018 as an important means of intermodal transport, which we have integrated with dynamic passenger information. The Szczecinek City Bike currently consists of 30 stations and 205 bicycles (including 5 tandems). This is the first such bicycle system in Poland, operated by a local carrier - Komunikacja Miejska Sp. z o. o. in Szczecinek. Over the years, the bicycle has become both a supplement and an alternative to traditional means of transport. We believe that thanks to the introduction of a new mobile application, touch screens in stations and a new version of the city bike software, residents and tourists will be even more willing to choose it both for recreational purposes and for everyday activities
