Large bike share program launches in downtown Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The largest bike share in Los Angeles County launched in downtown early Thursday morning.

There will be 1,000 bikes in 65 share stations across much of the area in downtown Los Angeles as a way to give people more transportation options and alleviate traffic.

People can go to bikeshare.metro.net and sign up for a pass. Riders head to any of the stations in downtown and can ride a bike from point A to point B within a 30-minute window.
