Poco più di un anno fa la città di Montreal ha presentato BIXI ( the Bicycle Taxi bike share) un programma di bike sharing ispirato all'esperienza Parisian success of Velib (headscarf freedom).
Since then, the program has grown in popularity by increasing the bike park from 3000 to 5000 units. So much so that the local rap group Da Gryptions BIXI decided to dedicate their first song: "BIXI Anthem" precisely.
The annual membership costs $ 78 against $ 45 of Velib, a day and $ 5 to use shorter, after the first 30 minutes free you pay $ 1.50 every 30 minutes.
bicycles weigh 20 pounds, can be transported in a van and medium-sized and can be collected from more than 300 cycle stations. The stations are powered by solar energy and monitor the movements of the bike with satellite technology. With the RFID information is read from a distance as the hitch and the bike columns respectively equipped with RFID readers and tags.
