Just Eat is to become the new commercial partner of dublinbikes in a three-year agreement.  They replace Coke Zero as backers of the scheme and the new look branded bikes will be visible on the streets of Dublin from the end of August.  In addition to the livery of the bikes, the docking station screens, service vehicles, staff uniforms and associated inventory will all also be rebranded as Just Eat dublinbikes.

In addition to the livery of the bikes, the docking station screens, service vehicles, staff uniforms and associated inventory will all also be rebranded as Just Eat dublinbikes.

The impact of the service can be seen by the fact that they recorded over two million journeys in the first six months of 2017 and that the total number will go through 20 million in the coming weeks.

The investment of €2.25 million over the next three years by Just Eat will represent a 15 per cent increase on the sum paid by Coca Cola over the past three years since they came on board as the first sponsors in 2014.

“Over that period the scheme has gone from strength to strength.  With almost 20 million journeys taken so far it is recognised as one of the most successful bike schemes in the world, which is something that Dublin can be proud of.”

“This commercial partnership with Just Eat will play an important role in further developing the success of the scheme and in the promotion of cycling in the city.”

“It is vital for Dublin city that the public have access to viable and sustainable modes of transport,” added Owen Keegan, Chief Executive, Dublin City Council.

“dublinbikes has played a huge part in the accelerated growth of cycling in Dublin and it is now rightly seen as integral to the public transport network.”

“The scheme will become even more accessible with the introduction of 15 new stations and 100 new bikes when the Grangegorman expansion is rolled out later on this year.”

“Having Just Eat on board as a commercial partner enables us to provide enhancements to the scheme at no additional cost to the city.”
