About this app

Official mobile application for Montreal metropolitan area’s bike share system.

It allows users to purchase one-way passes and memberships and to rent a bike. A map of the stations shows, in real time, the number of bikes and docking points available at each station so you can plan your routes. Access your personal space to learn more about your trips and usage statistics.

Ratings and reviews

Far and away the best way to get around Montreal on a budget. Bixi locations are also integrated into Google maps so if you have wireless earbuds you can navigate the city via audio prompts. The manual bikes are geared easily enough for most and the electric bikes are great if you need a boost. The system is super simple to use on a trip by trip basis, or with a monthly membership.

Update Nov. 23: for such an important app, it's surprising that it still won't show me where I am on a map, and that there are almost no customization options in 'settings', or that almost-empty stations show up as green. ... It was working pretty well last year. Now it crashes after a few seconds, makng it almost useless - even after three updates. I love BIXI but they HAVE to fix this essential app ASAP.

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!
