BIXI
It allows users to purchase short-term access and members to rent a bike without their key and renew their membership. A station map shows in real time the number of bikes and docking points available at each station and you can also plan your routes. Access your personal space to learn more about your trips, transactions and usage statistics.

Overall it's a convenient and easy way to travel within the city. Hopefully the 3 speed bicycle models will be replaced with the 7 speed. 3 speed are limited and the seats don't go high enough for adjusting to the right height. Still find some areas don't have enough stations. Great concept that is found throughout the world and happy to see more people leaving their cars behind to travel by bike!
The directions feature is terrible! It doesn't take advantage of bike paths which aren't also roads, the re-center icon is sometimes invisible, making it hard to figure out whether I am still on the path, this is compounded by the fact that the map position resets constantly, extra compounded by the fact that the "destination" button sometimes becomes a "re-center" button which... does nothing, and finally the text-based directions also resets constantly. Test the UX on a real bike guys!
Overall pretty good, pretty fast, nice design and haven't had any issues really. In terms of UX I think the bike/dock availability could be improved. It would be much more readable if the actual number of available bikes/docks was shown rather than a vague gauge. This way you can instantly know how many bikes/docks are available instead of having to click on every station to have more info. I'll probably switch back to other app I was using before because of this. Another less important suggestion would be to allow us to filter the icons on the map to our favorite stations.
A scam and disrespectful, taking 100$ out of my account with no warning or explained reason, you have to go back and read long terms, this is basically how scam works. Hide major information between lines. And why is it taking more than 10 days to get ur money back???? U take money from my credit in a matter of seconds but once I give u my credit information then I have to wait more than 10 days to get it back, with our technology now days this unacceptable.
Loving it~ with so many docking stations now.. make traveling so much more convenient~ APP functions well too ~pretty easy to use~
Saw a feature on the app for group rides and was excited to ride with my partner without them having to download the app and just tag along with me, but when we went to use it, the feature was no longer on the main page and I couldn't find it anywhere... Despite looking at tutorials and stuff, eventually just gave up and wasted a bunch of time with my partner creating an account.
This app has big room for improvement. Many stands are out of service and you cannot unlock a bike. The app uses huge amout of data, probably 10 tomes more than google maps, even you close it after unlocking... to prepare reports of ride. They can make background data usage optional, naturally you do not have those report. I am thinking to turn off mobile data after unlocking.
It doesn't send me the code to unlock my bike. I've tried login out and re-installing the app.
Really handy app. Able to unlock the bike without the key if you already have a membership. And bixi itself is a really good of getting around the city in spring, summer and fall. Very much recommended! Plus allows you to get in a daily/weekly dose of exercise!
Very unreliable app. Will not let me unlock a bike, has been doing this for weeks, I restarted my phone, and uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Made me late to an exam which I would have been 25mins early to if it wasn't for the app not workong at a station that had a broken screen.
The app is actually not bad, when you register it will change you and extra $100 without any notice which i really disliked as. as its withdrawn from your credit card without your consent. two weeks has been passed and they still haven't refunded me!
Good app but kinda slow and clunky. Keeps forgetting the route I just set up.
Bixi will show where the bikes lanes are, but when you use the "plan a trip" function, it doesn't automatically show you a trip that uses bike lanes, instead telling you to bike on roads without bike lanes, even if bike lanes are available one street over. Also, the km tracker is not accurate, it over estimates by about 1.5 km.
The app is a bit slow when loading the map or trying to resize it since it's loading a lot of stations. Otherwise unlocking a bike or planning a trip is really easy.
Great app, had an issue once but support was phenomenal. Great experience, really worth it (significantly reduces travel time), the bikes are very heavy though.
works pretty well. sometimes it stops working and I need to close and reopen the app. but nothing that can't be fixed and it doesn't really bother me. overall, great app!
Simple, once you do it the first time. It gets lost and you need to refresh manually, but it works. As for the docks, there are plenty that won't lock. You have to try one, and then another, and then another to find one that works.
Very efficient. It would be cool if the app's map could help in navigation and not just where the next station is.
I can never buy credits, I always get the message "cannot currently purchase membership for this member". Also, this app is the least user friendly. One needs to log out and choose a plan to buy credits, then log in, then re-choose the plan... why?
The app is functiinal and precise. Crashes ocassionally after a ride closure notification. But overall it's great.
Great experience. Very useful. I also asked Bixi two years ago to put a bixi station near my house and they listened. Very convenient when buses aren't available.
Very good. They need to have the stations charge their ebikes next year, though. All the ebikes are out of battery, can't even take them out. Waste of space until a mister comes and collects them.
Very convenient, super organized and easy to use. Bixi is the best way to experience Montréal as a visitor!
very useful and practical, bikes are a bit heavy but I dont have to climb too much, stations are well located, of course they suit me but still I think they have optimized them a lot
L'application est bonne mais la carte se réinitialise à chaque 10-15 secondes lorsque tu essaies de naviguer. Android 11 LG Velvet. The application is good but the map resets itself every 10-15 seconds while you're trying to navigate. Android 11 LG Velvet.
