The BIXI community keeps expanding by leaps and bounds. First, it was North America, with Montreal, Boston and now Minneapolis. Shortly thereafter, Europe followed suit with stations all over London. And now, BIXI goes to the Land Down Under as Melbourne is the next city to adopt the concept.

 
Thanks to the determination and boldness of the managers behind BIXI, the Public Bike System Company earned Gold in the Canadian Public Sector Leadership Awards. During a gala reception in Toronto last night, Roger Plamondon, chair of the board of the company, received the prestigious award in the Not-for-profit category.

This morning, Roger Plamondon, chair of the board of the Public Bike System Company, and Alain Ayotte, the company’s president, were pleased to announce that the one millionth BIXI bike trip has been made. The two men were accompanied by Gérald Tremblay, mayor of Montréal, and André Lavallée, chair of the City of Montréal’s executive committee and member responsible for the transportation plan, as well as the user who reached this important milestone in the young company’s history.

The Public Bike System Company (PBSC) is pleased to announce it has been awarded two major contracts for its BIXItm Public Bike Systemtm, putting it at the forefront of the development of new bike share systems throughout the world.
