Opposite issue where I live. Every station is completely full so I have no way to catch a bike home. Tried to do it last week and after checking 8 docking stations ended up having to dock about a kilometre from home.

I feel very seen. This is a constant issue to me, especially in the morning hours when depending on a bike to head downtown.
I also noticed on weekends, they don't have anyone coming by and restocking the bikes mid-afternoon like during weekdays. This leads to chronic shortages during the summer weekends. I believe as the network grows, they'll need to hire more staff to restock bikes in these communities, or introduce some sort of rebate program for taking bikes from a full to an empty station or something.

I nearly went off the road and crashed from a stunned double take because I couldn't believe my confused eyes upon spotting a bike share station at Humbertown today...
So tantalizingly close!

Lmao who thought it be a good idea to have public bike sharing near Costco...so I'm gonna bike home with all my bulk purchases...lol!
Also that area has a lot of huge traffic not suitable for biking!

Overlea is getting Cycle tracks, it will be just fine for cycling.
There's a large residential population here and they need to get to work and to the store.
Note that there are a lot of people working at the Costco, not merely shopping there.
It may also be that they might bike to the Costco, but transit or taxi/uber home.

Literally used Bike Share to get there last week...only needed to pick up a prescription though. Glad there's one closer to Costco now since I had to walk from Thorncliffe Park Dr last week!
We have been known to bike to Costco with a trailer.

I've biked to that Costco from Sunnybrook before with a Bike Share (docked on Thorncliffe), then taken a bus home. I've also done a Costco run with a larger backpack using my personal bike. Naturally, I bought more than intended and had to tie a couple of bags on the outside of my backpack. It *is* doable.

Today I saw another new ( at least to me!) station. Queen's Quay East (south side) immediately east of Merchants' Wharf.

Will they hit their target number of installs before Christmas? Seems very possible.

We're now at 774 stations across the City, six shy of the 2023 goal.
