Montreal is finally walking the green talk!

By Alternative Channel's Joanie Bergeron Poudrier

Montreal's eco-bike system BIXI made it in the top 50 Best inventions 2008 by Time Magazine!

TIME magazine came out with a list of its 50 Best Inventions of 2008 and Montreal's Public Bike System (aka Bixi for BIcycle taXI) ranked as their 19th best of the year.

When the city of Montreal built its Public Bike System, nicknamed Bixi, the designers packed in all the technology they could find, in a desperate attempt to out-engineer human iniquity. The modular bike-rack stations are Web-enabled and solar-powered.

The bicycles are designed with tons of sealed components to resist the savage beatings they will undoubtedly receive, and they're equipped with RFID tags so they're easily trackable. BIXI makes the bike a form of urban transportation all on its own.

Urban and practical. Economical and ecological. For everyone, every day. Montreal is finally riding the green talk!

Created for short trips, the fee structure is intended to encourage frequent trips that don't take long.

You have to be a member to use the system, but for each usage, the first 30 minutes of use are always free.

No more questions! For shopping, getting to work or just visiting friends, bike it with BIXI!

Well, I would like it to become more popular as a cheap, fast eco-friendly mode of transportation. I hope this works and catches on.
