So many times I got "this bike doesn't exist" last weekend.

Hate when this happens! Or just some random error. Almost always fixed by using the card.

Good news about the new docks from this post on Instagram

We’re excited to unveil our new Pillar docks, an innovation in our docking system, designed keeping our riders in mind:
Clearer indicators on the new status display show when your bike is ready or docked.
Dock your bike smoothly without an extra force.
Just tap your key card on the dock’s NFC reader to unlock a bike.

You can continue to unlock the bike by scanning the QR code through the app. (And soon, you’ll be able to unlock the bike by tapping your phone too. This feature will be rolled out in the coming days. Stay tuned!)

The Pillar docks are now installed at:
• York St / Harbour St (Love Park)
• Widmer St / Adelaide St W
• Simcoe St / Wellington Street W

Amazing! I'm assuming that the eventual tapping of your phone will work as well as cards do now, so it should do away with the pesky "bike doesn't exist" and the like errors. Also, the NFC reader will eliminate jerk's ploy of scratching off QR codes, which I figure must be an effort to make more bikes available to them.
