Capital Bikeshare hits 400 stations, set to expand to Fairfax Co.

WASHINGTON — Capital Bikeshare now has 400 stations across the region and is about to add even more next month in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Capital Bikeshare said its 400th station was installed at Division Avenue and Foot Street NE near the H.D. Woodson Senior High School in D.C. There also are stations in Montgomery County in Maryland, and Arlington and Alexandria in Virginia.

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation told WTOP that all equipment has arrived for the expansion to Reston and Tysons, but there is no specific launch date yet.
