The sticker that explains that you have to wait for the green light has been removed, and thankfully the bike kept falling out because the bike stand was on a hill or I'd have been out $1200

Sounds great. Rent a bike. Then spend thirty minutes getting to the next station. Then do it again. Fantastic!

Actually the stations are only a block apart, so you don’t really need to race. Most places around the city are easily within a 30 minute ride.

​@@VisitTorontoVideos I took a bike from the subway station at Queen and University went to Mt Sinai for my appointment, then had to ride just as far away to find a location that had a free bike slot that worked. I had to keep checking location after location. I was super late, it was entirely inconvenient. I haven't used a bike until today, 4 years later.

What does this 30 minutes docking thing mean? What if you just want to get a bike and then just ride around, maybe stop by a beach, go eat somewhere, for a few hours.
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos 2 года назад
That means you will be charged a lot of money. They are designed as commuter bikes. If you want a bike to use for the day, then you need to rent a bike from someone else. There are many bike rental places around the city.

Take a bike to the beach, dock it there. If you have a trip that takes more than 30 minutes, find an empty dock, dock it, then you can sign it out for another 30 minutes.
@sharinglungs3226
@sharinglungs3226 Год назад
It’s really straightforward, you dock your bike before each 30 minute trip is up. Consider docking like parking. You don’t bring your bike on the beach, you dock/park it first and then walk to the beach. When you’re done with the beach you go get the bike to travel within 30 minutes to your next spot/activity.

Someone who only needs to do one 30 minute trip obviously. It can easily be the case of someone who takes the bike to work or to home from work or other activity.

Suggestion: station bike stations near parking garages and provide Drivers with access to a free ride. Maybe the Toronto Parking Authority can leverage the bike share program it manages to encourage parking at their garages since drivers have to pay for parking anyway. Drivers don't have to park near their work, especially in the downtown core. They can park at a spacious parking garage where there's less congestion and then bike the rest of the way to another bike station located near their work. The Toronto Parking Authority can make their money back and then some by encouraging more parking at their emptier garages while also lowering traffic congestion because there's less vehicles on the road and less of them concentrated in the same area at the same time. Then more people can reach their destinations more quickly.

So if I pay $3.25 for a single trip and ride for longer than 30 minutes, do I need to insert my credit card again somewhere to pay the extra $4 ? On the bike share website it says for pay-as-you-go you deposit $1, and then pay by .12 per minute--do you pay for the time in advance or after docking the bike?
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos Год назад
Basically, in all cases they charge your credit card at the end of the ride. Each bike has its own identifier. When the bike leaves the dock, the system knows the minute and second it left. When you return it to the dock at your destination, the system knows the minute and second it has been returned and calculates how long you’ve had it. You then get charged for the ride. The new pay as you go system just started on April 3rd 2023.
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos Год назад
I don’t think I answered your question. You only have to give your card at the beginning of the ride. It processes all the charges when the bike is returned.

How about when there is jo vacant space in the dock to return it?
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos 2 года назад
If you are running out of your 30 minutes. Stop at the station with no docks available and tap the kiosk. There is an option to extend your ride by 15 minutes (no cost) to get you to the next station with available docks.
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos 2 года назад
Bikeshare has just updated their kiosks. You now tap “I have a pass” and follow the instructions to get a 15 minute time credit so you have time to get to a station with an available dock

Are they electric bike?? If yes then how do we know which all are electric
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos Год назад
Yes there are electric bikes. On the electric bikes, there is a battery meter in the center of the handle bars. You should try to get an electric bike earlier in the day. By evening they are all usually dead, waiting for the bikeshare team to come and recharge them. In the PBSC app, if you tap on a bike dock location, it will tell you if any electric bikes are available at that location.

Suppose I want to do some quick shopping at Walmart en route. Where do I securely park the bike?
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos Год назад
There are 630 stations across Toronto. If you have a day pass, you can put the bike in a dock at the station. When your ready to continue riding, use your day pass code to take another bike.
@sharinglungs3226
@sharinglungs3226 Год назад
You’ll have to find the nearest docking station to Walmart. This is where planning ahead helps as the docking stations may not be in the best place.

There are bike share depots everywhere downtown. When you get off the bike return it and lock it up. Then theft won't happen. If you have a day pass, you get a new bike when you are ready to continue your ride.

Can I buy 45min annual pass from the kiosk? Does every bikeshare station have a kiosk? I can't waste my phones battery and I have no data!
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos 2 года назад
Every bike share should have a kiosk. You can't get a 45 minute pass. But there are so many around town that you can easily return the bike and get a new one within the allotted time. Once you do it a couple of times you will see how easy it is to use.

@@VisitTorontoVideos I just learned that stations without a kiosk are called "smart stations". In the bikeshare FAQ it says they are listed on the map. I am trying out to find out where the smart stations are so I know where not to go so that I can get to one with a kiosk. My map doesn't seem to show the smart stations. Can you help me out please?
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos 2 года назад
I found this on their site: Smart Stations are located throughout our system. 'SMART' is in the station name on our System Map and CycleFinder/PBSC, so you can identify which type of station it is before arriving.
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos 2 года назад
So if you are planning your route on a computer, just avoid stations with the word "SMART" and you should be okay.

Hi how much is it per year for electric bike? And what happens if it goes bad while riding it?
@VisitTorontoVideos
@VisitTorontoVideos Год назад
$99 a year for a pass that includes electric bikes. If something goes wrong with a bike. Get it back to a dock. Once you’ve placed it in the dock there is a wrench button on the dock. Press it. The availability light will turn red and bikeshare is notified to come check out the bike.

If it’s more than a flat tire, there’s a 1-800 number on the handle bars. You can call in and let them know what’s wrong with the bike. I’ve done that a couple of times and have never been charged for repairs.
