The CBC reports that the Toronto Parking Authority’s new bike sharing operator will sell it 1,000 new bikes and 120 new stations this year. PBSC Urban Solutions is the new supplier, an international company that already provides cities like Montreal, New York, Washington, San Francisco and London with bike-sharing systems. Just as interesting is the combative reactions of readers about the cost and value of bicycles. Representative remarks include this one from Patishere: “Love the bike sharing plan, I see plenty of tourists taking advantage and expanding the service will get more on board for a healthier community.” Honestly comments: “Nothing new here, complete waste of taxpayers money. This has been, and will always be, a complete waste of taxpayers money.” CBC
