After what it calls a successful winter season, BIXI is opening its spring season earlier than ever with more stations, bikes and seasonal memberships available.

In addition, the bicycle sharing company is spreading to six new cities on the Island of Montreal.

“We all recognize the success of BIXI, which is now available across all the island of Montreal, in the metropolitan area, and is internationally recognized. We are proud to have a service like this to make getting around easier and to promote Montreal worldwide,” said Montreal Mayor Soroya Martinez Ferrada.

The season’s start on Tuesday is two weeks earlier than typical, and the seasonal pass will give riders access to the entire 13-city network by April 15.

BIXI trailers will also be available by that date

By the end of the season, BIXI says that the network will include over 13,000 bikes.

“Our goal is to provide a safe, efficient cycling network that’s tailored to the realities of our neighbourhoods,” said Saint-Laurent borough mayor Alan DeSousa. “Whether for residents or tourists, BIXI lets people discover the city in a different way, in a new light.”
