Dublin City Council's highly succesful Dublinbikes scheme had its millionth journey last night.
The landmark journey was taken at 7.25 on but details of the station in question have been withheld due to restrictions placed on the scheme’s operators by the data protection act.
Dublin City Council and its partner JCDEcaux (Ireland) launched the highly succesful scheme on 13th September 2009.
Over 37,000 people have signed up for the service to-date and have 450 bicycles available to them for rental from 40 stations between the Royal and the Grand canals.
The City Council recently announced that more capacity will be added to the scheme over the next few weeks.
Plans are in place to increase the number of bikes to 550, and introduce four new stations at Smithfield, Eccles Street, Harcourt Terrace and Charlemont Mall.
Rental is free for half an hour and costs 50 cents for the first hour, rising to €6.50 for four hours.
