DUBLINBIKES DOCKING STATION 06 AT CHRISTCHURCH PLACE
Dublin City Council and JCDecaux today [9 December 2020] announced a new commercial partnership between NOW TV and dublinbikes which includes the streaming service taking the naming rights in a deal spanning the next three years.
NOW TV dublinbikes, which were revealed at an announcement at Portobello today, will be visible on the streets of Dublin from January 19th, 2021. All of the bike schemes associated inventory will also carry the NOW TV dublinbikes brand.
The partnership with NOW TV will support the launch of a new dublinbikes user experience in January which will see the introduction of a brand new App and a refresh of the dublinbikes website. The new user friendly App is a major step forward for the scheme as it will allow subscribers to release a bike from their smart phone for the first time as well as providing new and improved features, making it easier for commuters to access and enjoy the service. This is the first of a number of upcoming exciting developments planned over the course of the partnership which will modernise the scheme which has been a huge success in the city over the past 10 years.

I am delighted to welcome NOW TV on board as the new sponsor.
