Bixi (often stylized as bIXI) is a public bicycle sharing system originally serving the metropolitan area of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Starting July 2025, it also operates in the city of Sherbrooke. Launched in May 2009 by Public Bike System Company (PBSC), it is North America's first large-scale bike sharing system and the original Bixi brand of systems. PBSC filed for bankruptcy at the beginning of 2014 after the company started experiencing financial difficulties in late 2013. The City of Montreal then bought PBSC's assets for $11.9 million in February 2014 and created Bixi Montréal, a non-profit entity, to run the bike sharing operations. In 2023, Bixi was the second-most used bicycle sharing system in the U.S. and Canada, behind only the Citi Bikes of New York City, which are modelled after Bixi. In 2025, the magazine Time listed Bixi as one of the 25 best inventions of the 21st century, citing its innovative design and influence on other major bicycle sharing programs.
