As a regular user of bixi this makes me really sad.
It's an in incredible benefit to Montreal to have this. Tons of people I know who live downtown, old mtl and plateau use it. And yes, most of us have real grown up jobs or own businesses. I'll be really sad to see this go.
Nothing like riding to work in the morning. Hell I even leave early sometimes and take the long way.

They just filed it doesn't mean it will disappear. Coderre already stated the Bixi will be around this summer in Montreal. However, this once again proves that if a business is unsustainable by itself you have to stop throwing public funds at it and hope. Taxpayers have already done enough, it is up to Bixi to find a solution and restructure.
I'm now living South shore and the service saves me HOURS yearly. Plus I don't buy a Montreal bus pass becasue of it. Also, downtown feels so small and accessible when it's up and running.
Ever seen how a business operates when its in bankruptcy protection? Staffing is cut, employees that are left dont give a shit about anything, maintenance gets dropped. Its usually a slow painful death. Sure first month might be ok but Bixi WILL fall apart rather quickly this summer.
Est-ce que c'est flagrant que ca allait faire fallite, jveux dire, les tarif? la qualité du velo? , la disponibilité de ceux-ci?
Is there stations in the south shore?
I too at one point gave up my bus pass when I was living downtown. Nothing better than needed no car or taxi to go to the bars around the city.
It was probably to bail out bad investments made by the owners.
Socialize losses & privatize profits.
Welcome to Quebec
You know the PQ will bail them out!
BIXIs entire business model is one that will lose money along with nearly all public transport.

Public transport is like healthcare, everyone puts money in for a select few to use. But having it makes all of society better.
It's not about profits and losses.
The problem with bixi is the fact that a few people at the top pocketed millions and bankrupted the system.

The day we have a fully automated public transit system (not in our lifetime) is the day waste will stop...
