CitiBike is a little more than six months old in NYC and it is a phenomenal success. Check out these amazing stats. The City also released an updated statistical fact sheet card for Citi Bike’s first 5 million miles: Estimated miles traveled to date: 10.08 million, the equivalent of 404 trips around the Earth; roughly a third of the distance to Mars; nearly four times the length of all paved roads in the United States; and nearly eight times the total miles run by all 50,000 New York City marathoners last weekend. Number of trips (as of 9 a.m. November 8): 5,172,616: more rides than the populations of Brooklyn and Queens combined; more than the populations of 28 states; one million more riders than annual visitors to the Empire State Building and equal to the annual visitors of the Natural History Museum; more than twice the annual ridership of DC’s Capital Bike Share, the nation’s second largest system, which took nearly three years to reach 5 million rides. Number of trips in the peak travel day: 44,000: more than the average Yankee Stadium attendance this past season; average daily ridership of 35,000 is more than twice the daily attendance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Total annual, weekly and daily subscriptions purchased: 432,244, almost as large as the population of Atlanta, Georgia; nearly 94,000 annual members, roughly equivalent to the capacities of Yankee Stadium and Citi Field combined. Estimated number of calories burned since launch*: 403 million, the equivalent of 732,000 Big Macs, nearly 419,000 entire pints of Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream, and more than 107,000 Pizza Hut meat lover’s pizzas. *assumes an average of 40 calories per mile biked
