Bixi is having a big start to the season with May 2022 usage up 92% compared to a year ago. We might be seeing where some of the conventional public transit trips have gone.

So that’s why I’m always having trouble finding a bike in my neighbourhood. It seems like all the closest stations to me are always empty, and as soon as somebody arrives with a bike, it’s gone within minutes.
As far as the impact on transit trips go – the electric bikes have been a game changer. A lot of people would have been unlikely to venture across town or uphill on a regular Bixi, but now the electric bikes make those kinds of journeys effortless, and they usually end up being cheaper than or roughly the same as a single metro fare.

Waiting on the corner of Bellechasse and Saint Denis waiting at the lights to turn my Bixi into the new REV the other morning, the number of cyclists flying south was something to behold. Seemed almost Amsterdam level of critical mass for a moment.

Yeah that explains why now I can see much more people riding bixi in proportion to riders on their own bikes than last year.
