As of today, Berlin has a standardised reservation, parking access and billing system for secure bicycle parking. This makes not only cycling but also parking safer for cyclists in the capital.
The first facility where our system has been put into operation is located at Schöneberg Town Hall in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district. Bettina Jarasch, Senator for the Environment, Mobility, Consumer and Climate Protection, Jörn Oltmann, District Mayor of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, and Angelika Schöttler, District Councillor for Urban Development and Facility Management, attended the opening.
With the ParkYourBike app, bicycles can be parked securely at various locations across the city in the future - around the clock, 365 days a year. The Senate Department for the Environment, Mobility, Consumer and Climate Protection has set itself the goal of introducing a standardised city-wide reservation, parking and billing system in order to give all Berliners with bicycles easy access to protected bicycle parking facilities in the city. infraVelo, a subsidiary of the state-owned Grün Berlin GmbH, has developed the system for ParkYourBike with the external service provider viaboxx GmbH from Königswinter and operates the app and website for the service.
We are starting with a free pilot phase
Our pilot phase will initially start free of charge for users. The first facility at Schöneberg Town Hall offers a total of 64 parking slots on two levels. The upper bike boxes have a hydraulic system for easier loading and unloading, while the ground floor boxes have charging facilities for e-bikes.
Easy-to-use, flexible, and reliable
To try out the ParkYourBike service, you can simply register for free in our web app. A valid payment method is required for the (free) reservation or parking of bikes.
In the next step, you can either drive directly to the facility and park your bike or reserve a parking slot for up to 24 hours from the comfort of your own home. And you can do this for up to five bikes!
At the facility, you can access your box either by entering your access pin at the terminal or by scanning your previously deposited access medium, such as your VBB or BVG card or your QR code. Your bike box opens, and you can park your bike. Your bike is protected in our facility at all times, and you can pick it up again at any time.
