In Łódź, electric scooters offer a convenient and eco-friendly alternative to traditional means of transport, such as cars or public transit. Thanks to a citywide scooter rental system, both residents and tourists can easily move around the city, avoiding traffic congestion and parking issues.
To use a scooter, all you need is to download the appropriate mobile app, register, and scan the QR code on the scooter to begin your ride. Fees are charged per minute, and scooters can be parked anywhere within the designated usage zone. The system in Łódź enables a quick and safe method of travel, especially ideal for short distances or navigating the city center.
Electric scooters are environmentally friendly, powered by electricity and emitting no exhaust fumes. In cities like Łódź, where air quality is a growing concern, scooters are becoming an important element of sustainable transport policies, promoting alternative urban mobility.
With their easy accessibility, scooters are a flexible and low-cost solution for daily commuting. They also help reduce the number of cars on the road, which can lead to improved quality of life for residents and a decrease in traffic congestion.
The Łódź Public Bike System (Łódzki Rower Publiczny, ŁRP) is another alternative mode of transport gaining popularity among the city’s residents. In 2024, the system underwent a major upgrade and now offers 1,200 bicycles spread across 120 locations throughout the city. Operated by Nextbike, the system features 4th-generation bicycles equipped with advanced technologies, such as O-locks and GPS tracking. These innovations enhance security and accessibility, making the rental and return process easier than ever.
Uniquely, the system no longer relies on traditional docking stations. Instead, bicycles can be returned in designated zones near dedicated racks, increasing user flexibility. Rentals are managed through the Nextbike mobile app, and payments are made using a debit or credit card linked to the user's account. Notably, the first 20 minutes of each ride are free, and holders of the Migawka card can ride for up to 30 minutes at no cost. Since August 2024, users with a MultiSport card can also use the bikes free of charge for up to one hour per day.
The new system is part of Łódź’s broader strategy for sustainable urban transport, aiming to reduce air pollution and improve mobility across the city. With ŁRP, residents now have a green and comfortable alternative to conventional transport modes.
