They charge $% per DAY not per 24 hour as the website says. More you use more you pay the pay structure is as follows. Less than 30 minutes free.But you have to pay an access fee of $5 so its not free!! Sixty minutes:$1.50. An hour and a half: $6. After an hour and a half, each half-hour of overtime use: $6. I pity the poor tourist who rents from BIXI....Its more expensive than Paris BIXI is the newest scam by the city of Montreal!! They charge $% per DAY not per 24 hour as the website says.

You pay $5, but you have the first 30 mns free. Unfortunately, BIXI is a damn trap. I gave it a try and got charged $22.50 for...2H and a half! Quite expensive!Then, I wanted to subscribe to a monthly pass, thinking that in that way I wont be charged for any extra fees, but only $28 for the whole month. Surprise! The $28 gives you only the benefits of having...A key! Except that, you still have to pay the regular fees like anybody. BIXI looks to be very nice! You pay $5, but you have the first 30 mns free.

One is develop by François Proulx, the same guy who develop velo-lib iphone apps (same service in Paris). Right now, i propose to enter http://bit.ly/bixi in google maps apps on your iphone and you'll get it. Gab, there’s about 2-3 iPhone app in the making right now.

I've been curious how this stuff would work in practice. Question is how many of these bikes are defective and what will they be doing to label them / let people know for future reference... Just though that an iPhone app mapping the closest Bixi stations and giving directions there would be nice... Interesting news here Julien. I’ve been curious how this stuff would work in practice.
