Hubway and Fenway Open For the Season Today

Coming off of a solid road start to the season, the Boston Red Sox play their first home game of the year today, the same day as Boston’s popular bike share system opens for the season.

Mayor Thomas Menino announced Friday improvements for the Hubway bike share system, which officially reopens today citywide. Ninety-five of the 112 stations will be operational today. The remaining stations will go online mid-month.

According to a press release, below are some new additions to Hubway for 2013: 

• The most highly-utilized stations will be expanded with more bikes, including Congress/Sleeper, Post Office Square, Beacon/Mass Ave, and Charles Circle
• Summer/Arch station has moved one block to the corner of Franklin/Arch and has added 12 new spaces to accommodate demand
• TD Garden/Legends Way station has moved to the sidewalk along Causeway St at Portal Park and expanded by seven spaces
• New station at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital’s Navy Yard facility

Crews will ride the entirety of the Hubway system today handing out to Hubway members free Boston Red Sox T-shirts and, free Hubway day passes and one ticket to today’s game against the Baltimore Orioles at 2:05 p.m. The New Balance Hubway teamed up with The Boston Red Sox Foundation in commemoration of both opening days.
