At Citi Bike, there is a small team of people that work behind the scenes, all hours of the day, making repairs and responding to system emergencies. They have a high sense of urgency to keep the bike stations and docks functioning at full capacity. The Station Tech Department, called internally “Station Techs” or “Techs,” consists of only 18 people that perform highly skilled work in all weather conditions. They take pride in what they do to make the trip across town from station to station as seamless as possible for our riders.
