During the 2023 season, we celebrated 15 years of bike-share service in Montreal! For the occasion, a brand-new fleet of 100 red bikes is now available to all BIXISTS, adding a touch of color and festivity to the city’s streets. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t\t

These new red bikes represent the latest phase in the harmonization of our brand identity. Recently, we revised our fare structure<\/a>, introduced a new graphic grid with more inclusive typography for better legibility, and a renewed website, as well as updated all our communication tools such as the newsletter<\/a>, social networks<\/a> and poster campaigns in the city. <\/p>\n

This is the final stage of the road we’ve travelled over the last few years. In 2023, we served 500,000 BIXISTS in 8 cities, ensured over 9 million trips a year, and were available all year round<\/a> from the first winter.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t\t

BIXI, in 2023, meant more than 9 million activities, get-togethers, family lunches, afternoons in the park with friends, trips to work and back home. More than 9 million concerts at the Place des festivals, Quebec films at the Cin\u00e9ma Beaubien, visits to the library. More than 9 million walks to get away from it all. More than 9 million breaths of fresh air.<\/p>\n

While the 2023 season was still underway, the record number of trips was broken. The last symbolic milestone was reached in 2022, with 9 million trips.<\/p>\n

BIXI is more than just a means of transportation. It’s an infrastructure that contributes to pleasant living environments, that brightens up cities and enables them to rethink their future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t\t

The red bikes made their very first appearance at the end of September 2023, at Square-Victoria, a highly symbolic location for us. The park was designed by Michel Dallaire, as was the design of the BIXI bike! The bikes fit perfectly into the space of the square, with the curves of the benches reminiscent of those of the BIXI, as well as the original grey color and rounded corners.<\/p>\n

A procession of around a hundred people, including elected representatives and mobility stakeholders from the greater metropolitan area, left the square and circulated along Notre-Dame and St-Pierre streets to celebrate the event. Since then, the red bikes have become part of the regular fleet. So you can borrow them all season long for your outings!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t\t\t
