I rented a Divvy bike on April 8th, 2023 and returned the bike to the dock about 15 minutes later. I was charged $110.09 for the ride and issued a charge back via my bank. **** claims that I did not return the bike and charged me $272.50 for violating the service agreement on April 16th. I have attempted to contest the charge via customer support, but they have refused. I do not want my account to be suspended, so I have not issues any further charge backs.Business Response

Lyft operates Capital Bikeshare in the ************* area for which I have an annual membership. For nearly two months, the bikeshare docks in my area of the region have been essentially non functional, delivering an error message. In ** itself the service is highly irregular, allowing only occasional use. **** has told me my app and account are OK and that if I get this message it means the dock is offline. They have promised to fix this since at least March 10 in several exchanges by email and phone. They are not providing the service they are promising. I have asked for a partial refund my $95 membership, but would accept a credit as well. More importantly, I would like them to fix the flitch and/or the stations without further delay.Business Response

I paid the business (Capital Bikeshare run by Lyft Bikes) $90 for an annual membership to utilize bike share bikes, riding them from station to station within 45 minute increments. On one occasion, no docks were available at 3 stations within a reasonable distance of my destination. The app incorrectly reported availability. I parked the bike next to a station and immediately called a representative to notify them of the issue. The representative told me he would have an employee come pick up the bike. I have since been charged $250 for a "stolen bike" that I was assured would be picked up by an employee. I reached out to customer service and they refuse to abide by their employees assurance and refuse to remove the fee. There is no other avenue within the company to appeal the charge.Business Response

Complaint: 19937458
I am rejecting this response because:I immediately called the company upon finding 3 stations full with no room to dock a bike. The app showed the stations as having 1-3 open docks. I called to report the incorrect app reporting and complain that this has happened to me too many times, that the weather was dangerously pouring and storming, and I could no longer bike miles around just to find an open bike dock due to the poor rebalancing of the system. The employee on the phone assured me that an employee would come to retrieve the bike so that I would not be charged for a stolen bike, due to the fault of the company's faulty reporting data and lack of stations.
A few days later I received a $25 charge and then a $250 charge for a stolen bike. I emailed customer service explaining that an employee assured me another employee would come pick up the bike. Clearly no employee was dispatched to pick up the bike. The customer service agent repeatedly sent the exact same text in their response here--that per their policies they would not adjust their fee. They refused to acknowledge my phone call with an employee who assured me the bike would be picked up. I hope this matter can equitably settled by removing the fee due to the company's fault I'm faulty data, poor rebalancing, and assurance that an employee would retrieve the bike. A hard and fast policy is inequitable without considering the needs of the system, customer satisfaction, and most importantly, assurance of your employees in which the customer relied upon.

Complaint: 19937458
I am rejecting this response because:Once again, the company is refusing to acknowledge 1) the faulty data reporting open docks, 2) their failure to provide a functioning and balanced system, 3) an act of god making it dangerous to continue travel on a bike (storm), and 4) the fact that their employee told me someone would come pick up the bike. Number 4 in and of itself warrants the company removing the fee. I took the initiative to call. Their employee stated someone would pick up the bike. I relied upon their employees statement. The company has not acknowledged that phone call or assurance in any of their responses to me, even though I know they recorded the conversation, as an automated voice said so before the employee spoke.
This company has shown complete disdain for its own side of the policy, safety, and customer satisfaction. I remain appalled at the company's enforcement of it's policy without acknowledging the specific circumstances and for the way I have been treated. I have repeatedly requested to speak to management and still no one has elevated the conversation.
I need to see a response that addresses the phone call and the fact that an employee said they would dispatch and employee to pick up the bike.

I have been an annual member of the Reduced Fare Citibike plan for many years. I know I have to renew annually but this year SNAP made changes to the auto renew option therefore having my membership not automatically renew. For 3 days I was charged the regular fare which totaled $28. I am on the reduced fare membership because I am on public assistance and money is very tight. The normal monthly fee is five dollars and now Im charged $28 for literally four rides. I called customer service and I was told four different scenarios regarding my account. I was also told that I would not be charged the retroactive price due to policy. The problem with that is that in the last three years the system did not auto renew and this is happened before and customer service has gladly gone back and retroactively reduced the regular fares to reflect the reduced fair amount * I cannot stress how important it is for those of ** on public assistance that we have to help respect and also compassion from businesses that offered these reduced fare memberships to those of us who need it. In the course of trying to resolve this problem I was hung up on four times for four different customer service reps * it seems in their customer service routine hearing for different scenarios that was going on with my account and also being hung up so rudely is not the best plan of action towards a customer. Like I said* *** had this happen before and they had no problem* going back and retroactively changing the fares * I dont know why this time is different and why they were so rude and handling the situationBusiness Response

I have always had backup payments turned on so when they said they tried to charge my account and it failed, then why were they able to charge the same card for the 4 charges at regular price? According To their policy it says they will always try to charge with the card(s) on file. There are two cards on file.

My issue with this business is that I was recently having an issue with one of their bikes and resolved it with a customer service employee who helped me solve the issue with clear instructions that I followed. After the issue I was charged $110.09 dollars for the issue not being resolved. After seeking help they avoided my remarks and states that they would just give me more days to resolve an issue which I already had completely resolved properly and that if I did not solve the issue I would be charged more money. This feels like a scam as I solved the issue and did exactly what I was told and now I lost money and I am being told that I will be charged more.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Citibike still has not corrected my membership. Imy membership was supposed to be renewed for a year and billed on a monthly basis and it was not it was only renewed for a month.
when I called Citibike they told me it was renewed in error. My expiration date should be March ****. And I should be billed $5.44 with tax a month . They have not processed this membership correctly and still have offered no phone support or any support on this issue.
I sent in the documentation and Citibike refused to help me over the phone. I am disabled with a visual impairment and yet they still are not processing my membership correctly and offering no phone support.

Lyft / Citibike has a policy for free extension of membership for customers that meet certain points requirements via Bike Angels. They participate in false advertising around this program in 2 ways. First, **** states that if you get 80 points in a month a membership will extend for a full calendar month. By definition this means from one numerical day one month to the same numerical day the next month. After much arguing because my membership ended early, **** told me their policy is that they extend for 30 days. They refused to budge despite my pointing out their error in nomenclature. Secondly, Lyft advertises numerous features including access to citibike AND Bike Angels if you sign up for Lyft Pink. After having done this, I was told that an annual membership is required to access Bike Angels and not a monthly membership. Both of these constitute false advertising. To resolve this issue I would like Lyft to change their language in advertising and fulfill the promise of their advertisements when I was enrolled in each of these programs.Business Response

Citibike has erroneously closed my account three times in the last 30 days. Unfortunately, because they don't have customer support agents available, there is no immediate option to resolve an account closure. Additionally, they provide no notice that they are going to close your account, nor do they communicate a reason why the account was closed in the first place. This is particularly problematic as Citibike operates a monopoly within the *** region with no alternatives for short term bike rentals.Business Response

Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
