Dollard-des-Ormeaux to Gain Bixi Stations, Becoming First West Island City in Bixi Network

Dollard-des-Ormeaux residents are set to enjoy enhanced biking options with the addition of seven Bixi stations, featuring sixty bikes, including thirty electric and thirty manual ones. These stations will be operational by summer 2026, primarily in the city center and east. This move makes Dollard-des-Ormeaux the first West Island city to join the Bixi network, aiming to integrate with the REM transit system for seamless transitions between bikes and trains. While Bixi spots at Fairview-Pointe-Claire and Des Sources REM stations are expected in 2027, regional planners are also exploring a cycling corridor along the REM route to connect bike paths to stations network-wide.
