How to Start Your Trip

Every Bixi location has a payment kiosk and a series of bicycles locked up. To rent a bicycle, go to the kiosk and select the duration of your ride. If the station near you does not have a kiosk, you can only rent bikes from that station using a membership card or from within the Transit app on your smartphone. Once you pay via credit card, you are given a numerical code. Take that code to the bicycle of your choosing and enter it to the number pad located to the left of the front tire. This will unlock your bike and you’re off!

How to End Your Trip

To end your trip, find a Bixi location with an empty spot for your bicycle. Push and hold the front wheel into the open base station until the light turns green and the bike locks. You are trying to get the metal triangle above the front wheel into the base station securely. Once the light has turned green, and your bike is locked, your trip is complete.
