Customers may have noticed the addition of dozens of bicycle rental stalls at GO Transit stations.
Jul 23, 2020
If the sight of your car baking under a hot Toronto summer sun makes you perspire even before opening the door, you now can break a healthier sweat while getting to and from a number of Toronto GO Transit stations.
Metrolinx has unveiled new Bike Share Toronto depots recently built at Guildwood, Mimico, Long Branch and Rouge Hill GO stations. The sophisticated hubs are meant to give daily commuters and occasional travellers another option in getting between homes or work, and local GO stations.

There’s no shortage of bikes to rent, as Guildwood Station alone has 39 Bike Share Toronto docks. The technology behind the system runs entirely on wireless electric power.
The pricing looks like this:
- $3.25 per use
- $7 day pass
- $15 3-Day Pass
- $99 Yearly Pass
Customers can access Bike Share Toronto on their devices through the CycleFinder/PBSC app. You can find out more by clicking here.
That app allows users to access system maps, check for real-time bike and station availability, purchase passes and unlock bikes.
