Catchy name isn’t it? Everyone in Arlington voted on it, and now it has been named:”Capital Bikeshare.”
Transportation and Arlington Country now has “Capital Bikeshare” as the new name for the regional bike program. The DDOT plans to launch this program later on in 2010 with 1100 bikes at 114 stations in Arlington. This will be the largest bike sharing program in the US.
I like the name because it’s self explanatory. It tells you what the program does and hopefully will attract more riders in the area. Hopefully, this program will be a hit and take off into Maryland. London, Melbourne, and Australia have will have this program soon, since results have been successful in Montreal.

What I like about the name is that it can be shortened to CaBi (pronounced like ‘cabby’). Let’s hope this catches on with users!
As in: “Why wait for the bus when we can CaBi there in half the time?”
I didn’t even think about that! I like CaBi
