BIXI Toronto is a public bike system. The new service was launched from
this May in Toronto. I went on a cycling tour alone because my first day
to work was changed to next day suddenly.
BIXI
BIXI station
There are BIXI stations, you can access for 24H, anywhere in Toronto.
The station is activated by solar panels that power the entire station.
Montreal also has same service.
The fee for rent is $5(Taxes not included). And There are extra fees
each 30min. I was surprised that the fee was total around $30 for rent
in 4 hour so I misunderstood that the fee is $5 only. The extra fees is
$8 each 30 min over 90 min... Expensive...
This is just a transportation to move in downtown if my mind is correct.
You can rent and return during 24h if you rent once and you don't need to
pay extra fees if you repeat to rent and return within 30 min. Right???
Anyway I could have a nice cycling time with good weather. But I consider
that the service is unusual in Toronto yet so it was launched recently.
Everyone looked the bike I rode. And when I took a break at park, someone
asked me about the service and then I borrowed my bike to someone to
practise.
At the time, I went to west along Bloor St, popular Street, from downtown
and went to High Park, big park, then I took a break. After that, I went to
south from there and I got Ontario Lake and I went to east using course
of cycling along the lake. Cycling is nice in sometimes :)
Talk to you soon!
