[Midtown Urbanist]

Only problem w/that theory........there are no bikes in North York Centre either:

View attachment 656438

The North York folks take them within 5 minutes to commute downtown, I bet. This is what happens in Midtown. If a bike appears magically, it is sniped within a half hour, or within minutes in the morning rush hour.

I think the data is there to perhaps analyze the bike trips and identify such patterns. It would be interesting to see a timelapse of what happens to every bike added to York University throughout the following 72 hours.

7 more docks added since May 26th.

1 more in the north-west:

A couple in the north-east:

And a few in central Scarborough:

We're now at 895 operational docks.

We're now at 895 operational docks.

Begrudgingly, none are in central areas of the city. Do you get the sense the expansion throughout the summer will consist of expansion to all wards instead of providing coverage in depth in the inner city?

There will be in-fill sites in existing areas with high demand.

I don't know the exact rollout for the year, but I would imagine something like 75% new/light coverage areas, 25% infill, high-demand areas.

I did 6 trips: visits to 2 hardware stores, and blood donation (and returns). I was able to find bikes at the closest or second most stations.

If bikeshare makes up 8% to 12% of all trips taken by bike, that's an estimated 300,000 to 450,000 trips by bike in the city. The busiest section of the 401 sees 450,000 cars per day.

6 more docks added since my last update. We're now at 901

Ah, nice to see some of my stations being put in.

It's nice but is it normal for so many of the stations to have 0 or just 1 bike available ?

I think that's typical for new stations.

Yes.

Correct. The stations/docs are set up by one team, the bikes by another. The docks come on a flat-bed, the bikes in vans.

Bikes are typically added within a week.

CBC did a report on Bike Share re-balancing problems

90% of bikes in use at 8am!?

Bike Angels points in NYC sounds really cool. Not just about monetary rewards but gamification of points and a leaderboard for social cred. Sounds exciting for Toronto.

Good to heard it is in development for Toronto. Free rides if you go uphill!
