## What is Better B?

Better B is a faster, clearer map for Bicing, Barcelona's public bike share. The numbers update 20× faster, you get an alert when an e-bike shows up, and the nearest e-bike is one tap away. Open it and you see every station around you with live numbers: regular bikes, e-bikes and free docks.

FIND AN E-BIKE IN ONE TAP
• Nearest e-bike, nearest bike or nearest parking: one tap gives you the station and a walking route to it.
• Turn-by-turn walking directions inside the app, or open the route in your maps app.
• The station number on every card, so you know you're at the right one.

NEVER WALK TO AN EMPTY STATION
• Notify me: pick a station and get a notification when bikes arrive. Choose any bike or e-bikes only, and how many you need (1 to 4).
• Watch: heading to a station? Get told if its bikes, e-bikes or free docks run out before you arrive.
• E-bike nearby: when there's no e-bike within 300 m, ask Better B to tell you as soon as one turns up around you.
Station alerts arrive as notifications even when the app is closed.

YOUR PLACES
• Star the stations you use, or save places like home, work or the gym. Tap one and Better B shows the closest station with a free dock, with the time by bike.
• No e-bikes at a station right now? A note says how many it usually has at this time and how likely one is to turn up within 10 minutes.

RESERVE AND UNLOCK
Reserving and unlocking happens in SMOU, the official app. Better B's Reserve button takes you straight there, and turns into Unlock when you reach the station.

MADE TO BE QUICK
• Live data, refreshed every few seconds.
• English, Catalan and Spanish.
• Light and dark mode, standard or satellite map.
• No account, no ads, no tracking. We never see your location.

GOOD TO KNOW
Better B is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Bicing, BSM (Barcelona de Serveis Municipals) or the SMOU app. To reserve and unlock bikes you need your own Bicing subscription and the SMOU app. Station data comes from a public feed and can be a little behind what you find at the station.
