WHICH BETHESDA CaBi STATION IS MOST-USED?
In other Bethesda Capital Bikeshare news, there are some new numbers on Bethesda station usage. Surprisingly, Friendship Heights beats all of the Bethesda CaBi stations in ridership. Not surprisingly, the Bethesda Metro Center station at Montgomery Lane, and the Bethesda Row station, are the most-used stations within downtown Bethesda. Based on the numbers, it looks like one of the most popular trips is from the Metro Center over to Bethesda Row. And vice-versa.

I'd say it's not surprising at all that F-Heights is the most used station. It's the closest and really only in-range station to all the ones in D.C.
This River Rd. Station is key. Another connection between Friendship Heights and Bethesda Metro with the River Road area.
Much needed since bus service is so sparse, particularly evenings and weekends.
I am all by myself several percent of the trips from Montgomery & East to Bethesda Row. The real value of this trip is in leaving the Metro, shopping at Strosniders or Breads Unlimited, and then riding part way back home.
This new station might similarly work well for people who'd like to bike from Bethesda Row to Whole Foods, Georgetown Bagelry, Ledo's, McDonald's, or Talbert's on River Road.
No street lights? No public parking? I do not get how things like this get approved.
