2023 System Expansion 💚🧡

We’ve hit the ground running in 2023 with new stations popping up all around the city, continuing to densify wards and expanding into new areas!

Bike Share’s Four-Year Growth Plan aims to see expansion in all 25 wards of Toronto by the end of 2024, including further system electrification and a fleet of over 10,000 bikes by 2025!

Be sure to follow our Network Info page for system updates as we grow!

More Docking with Stacked Stations!

As Bike Share expands across the city, more stacked stations are popping up in the system. What’s a stacked station? It’s a way to maximize space to fit more docking points, so you will see docks staggered in two rows.

How does it work?

Dock and fill row 1 first (back row)

Unlock a bike from row 2 (front row) – if row 2 is empty, take from row 1.
