Gira is the latest public bikeshare operator to join Bird’s unique Smart Bikeshare Program which features Bird’s own shared e-assist bikes as well as integrations with local providers. The program is designed to complement, versus replace, beloved public bikeshare programs. Lisbon joins a growing number of European cities including Oslo, Bordeaux and Florence as well as Los Angeles, Detroit and Austin in the US, as cities partner with Bird to drive adoption of eco-friendly transportation alternatives.
The partnership with Gira complements Bird’s continued momentum throughout Portugal. Cementing its position as the leading shared micro-electric vehicle operator in the country, the company recently launched its service in Vila Franca de Xira. The launch marked Bird’s 11th city launch in the region. As part of the expansion and commitment to Portugal, Bird continues to invest in long standing relationships with city partners such as Lisbon and Porto where it recently introduced a new fleet of industry-leading Bird Three e-scooters.
“We are incredibly excited to team with Gira on this initiative which increases access to clean transportation alternatives in Lisbon and we thank the city for their collaboration,” said Brian Buccella, Senior Vice President, Government Partnerships and Consumer Products at Bird. “Portugal is fast becoming a leader in Europe for its commitment to environmentally friendly transportation and we are dedicated to remaining their leading operating partner by expanding our services and bringing to communities throughout the country our latest and most innovative technology.”
