From Ron Richings:
A useful bit of bikeshare info has been incorporated into Santa Monica’s transit app. Transit users will now see the distance/time from their stops to an available bike to finish their journey, along with the number of bikes available at each bikeshare location. Shows bikeshare as a genuine part of an integrated transit system.
This small but important innovation should be included in any new Bikeshare/Transit arrangements here in Vancouver, BC — or anywhere else, for that matter.

Anyone have an update on bike-sharing in Vancouver?
Kinda like OV-Fiets in Netherlands, plus a bit of extra mapping intelligence (it is california, they should have a couple people around who can code! 🙂
If we ever get bike share in Vancouver, it would be great if we could get the Compass Card to be a method of payment. That’s another step to integrating transit and cycling.
It would fit right in with TransLink’s timing and promises of the roll-out of the Compass Card and the Fare Gates.
