Saint-Lambert residents can benefit this new mode of active transportation at the following stations: Gordon Park (Desaulniers / Victoria) Simard / Riverside Champlain College (Riverside / Étienne-Trudeau) * in service starting in September This deployment was made possible thanks to the financial support of the Quebec government, which awarded a $120,000 subsidy as part of its Active and Shared Urban Transportation (TAPU) program.

I'm convinced that our fellow Saint-Lambert residents, who are well-informed and aware of today's environmental challenges, will be proud to adopt bike-sharing for their daily commutes or family outings. The city is committed to promoting its use, both for its health benefits and out of solidarity with future generations, who will inherit the impacts of our current choices." Christian Vermette, General Manager of BIXI Montréal, adds, "Following our arrival in Sainte-Julie last year and our major expansion in the Longueuil area, we are proud to welcome Saint-Lambert to the greater BIXI network. Thanks to a single application, unified pricing and memberships with no zone limits, users can move freely across an ever-expanding interconnected network." Today, users can locate stations, rent a bike and plan their trips via the BIXI mobile app or An expanding network, soon everywhere throughout Québec The year 2025 marks a decisive turning point for BIXI with the integration of four new municipalities into its network, including Saint-Lambert, which completes this series of openings.
