More Bikes, Easier Drop Offs
TORONTO, June 22, 2022 /CNW/ - Bike Share Toronto will be increasing its operations from June 23 – 26 to better support those who prefer to ride a bike to and from this weekend's Pride festivities.
Valet stations will be strategically placed around the downtown core to make it easier for anyone headed to Pride to find and drop off bikes.
Bike Share Toronto operator Shift Transit will staff the valet stations with Mobile Community Ambassadors who will have extra bikes and docking points to ensure bikes are readily available and provide a hassle free drop off.
"After a two-year break, the Toronto Parking Authority and Bike Share Toronto are excited to see the Pride festivities back in person, and in full swing," said Bike Share Toronto Director Justin Hanna. "We expect record numbers participating in the many events this year, so we're increasing our valet service to help make the experience of getting there simple and seamless."
"Shift Transit's ultimate mission is to provide our clients with exceptional service. We are thrilled to work with Bike Share Toronto to increase operational readiness to help people move around the city with greater ease this Pride weekend," said Michael Blanc, General Manager, Bike Share Toronto at Shift Transit.
