Well, @TwoWheelPoli ; Scott Collier out talking up Bikeshare yesterday said the report on the multi-year strategy will come to the December Board meeting not the next one.

Toronto bike share program set for record year, ridership may hit 16M by 2030 | Globalnews.ca

Bike Share Toronto, the city's bike rental network, is on pace for a record year in ridership despite operating at a financial loss, a new report indicates.

The news came out, because the Green P agenda for October actually came out yesterday, a day early.

On that agenda is a report related to Bikeshare Toronto engagement meant to inform the next 5 years:

From the above, the first thing that jumps out at me is some Fibbing with a capital F.

1,042 stations huh? I have the real-time feed and I can tell you that there are 990 Bikeshare Stations at this very minute.

Where did this imaginary number come from.

The last official goal I saw was to hit 1,060 by year-end. So it doesn't match that either. I'll bet they've revised their year-end total down, as they are not pacing to achieve it; but decided to claim they've already met it. LOL

The Report identifies that Bikeshare could double annual ridership within 5 years hitting 16M rides annually.

Follow up to the above, remember I said that the Capital Budget submission should be on this month's agenda, it is.

The 5-year plan waits til next month.

But the 2026 budget submission for Green P is here:

The forecast details for coming year, however, as mostly blank:

Bikeshare is getting something, but the details are being held back:

52 in the shop for repairs [such as broken screens], stations for bike maintenance purposes like testing bike mount repairs, a few spares to replace broken deployed stations, and a few delivered but not yet deployed?
