Free cycle hire passes for NHS workers in Edinburgh
Transport for Edinburgh’s Cycle Hire Scheme (Just Eat Cycles) has announced the release of 100 free annual passes for NHS staff.
Developed in partnership with Sustrans Scotland and Edinburgh Cycle Hire operators Serco, the scheme has been made possible by funding from Transport Scotland through Sustrans’ Partnership programme. Until 4 July, the NHS passes will cover the use of e-bikes and pedal bikes for free up to 60 minutes per ride. After the initial two months the pass will revert to a normal annual membership for the remaining ten months. E-Bike trips will then cost 10p per minute.
Passes, which cover both e-bikes and pedal bikes, will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
George Lowder, chief executive of Transport for Edinburgh, said: “Transport for Edinburgh are delighted that Transport Scotland have provided funding to allow access to The Edinburgh Cycle Hire Scheme for NHS staff who are fulfilling such vital roles at this time.”
NHS employees interested in accessing the 12 month pass should use their NHS email address and send an email to support@edinburghcyclehire.com by 22 June 2020.
