Cecilia Peralta, Undersecretary of Transportation and Mobility of La Rioja, indicated in communication with El Independiente Media that Rioja en Bici released the system since May, meaning that it is completely free, you just have to download the application.
Regarding how this proposal is working, Peralta said that “the truth is that we are very good with Rioja en Bici, not only is it free on Sundays but every day of the year is free, the system was released so that they can use it for free, Since May we have done this action, the number of users who are using the Rioja en Bici system has increased a lot, what they have to do is download the application and complete the data to be able to use this system every day,” he specified.
Asked about the demand for this system, the undersecretary pointed out that “luckily much better, users increased on Sundays, and the rest of the days as well, we are having frequent users who are using the bikes to go to work, which before We didn’t have it. I think the whole economic situation, the rise in fuel, made people turn to public transportation, as much as Rioja Bus and Rioja en Bici,” he said.
Likewise, he maintained that the undersecretary wants to promote the use of “sustainable” non-motorized transportation, and that is Rioja en Bici, and we are very happy with how it is being used today.

Regarding how it works, he indicated “it is a very interactive system, where you can use the bike for one hour for free, then you have to report if you want to continue using the bike, the system automatically sends you messages and you have to say if you want to continue using it, and they continue. If it is misused, an alarm is automatically set on the bike so that the user knows, we have monitoring and it is under constant surveillance, we have not had serious problems.”
Seasons
At this point, the Undersecretary of Transportation and Mobility of La Rioja, expressed that due to the growth of users, work will continue with the construction of cycle paths and bike paths and four other stations “in the Family Park, at the UTN, Vargas and Las Padercitas ”.
