Take out an EPFL subscription (see above) and check on the Publibike app whether any bikes are available. Open the bike lock located just behind the saddle by pressing the button. Bring your smartphone or CAMIPRO card close to the lock to open it automatically.
With an EPFL subscription, the first 60 minutes of each rental are included. After that time, the rate per minute is CHF 0.05 (bike) and CHF 0.10 (e-bike). Up to 5 bikes can be rented at the same time; each additional bike is charged at the B-Quick subscription rate.
Simply park your bike at a PubliBike station and close the lock. The rental is automatically terminated.
