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

Although not perfect in UI and UX, gets the job done. I would have given it 5 stars but around my area there almost none classic bikes, so I always have to go further and that constantly changes my plans. Customer service is great, though! I've had trouble docking a few times and they have solved the situations appropriately. All in all, is worth it for $22 to not to have to fix your own bike or even invest in one, considering the weather here (Montréal) is so harsh for 60% of the year 😂

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.

I will keep using this app. It is helpful and a great asset for the price. But it has been a bit of an issue at times where bikes haven't been available, and more so where the drop off stations are full, but don't say so on the app. When a rack says there are spaces and there are only broken racks, JUST SAY IT IS FULL! For the last 2 evenings, I've had to go to 4-5 stations before finding one that has a spot, when all of them said they had at least one dock available. Sort it out.
