Bike Share Toronto Positive Reviews
System makes no senseBikes were available and the docking system worked, but we wasted so much time trying to figure out how to rent more than 1 bike. Ended up creating another account because it didn’t let >1 bike per account.Chickend314Version: 2025.15.3
App is fineNothing wrong with app but u need to check it to see if docks or bikes are broken before using.AlkappamelonVersion: 2025.15.3
Pretty goodA much needed improvement from the previous app.Efv trv efVersion: 15.56.31
Revision…Well everything worked out… looks pretty cool now..BikezzzzVersion: 15.56.31
RegressingGreat and useful app and service, but a recent update got rid of Apple Pay as an option and now you have to manually re-enter your password every single time if you use pay-as-you-go.PatStongeVersion: 2025.15.3
Patience RequiredWe paid for the day. The App works - most of the time. Sometimes the stand would release the bike - sometimes it wouldn’t receive the bike. Sometimes it took us 4 or 5 tries. Eventually it would work. When it did work it was a GREAT way to get around Toronto with good bike lanes and lots of stations..BIRG.KMVersion: 2025.15.3
If you don’t actually have a bike it’s a decent dealThe E-bikes are quick. As taxing as a stroll faster than full out run.
The regular bikes could use one more gear but they’re fine.
The app shows where to get and where you can drop off bikes. You don’t want to get stuck with a bike you can’t park..TrevorreviewerVersion: 2025.15.3
UX need workApple Pay not automatically integrated feels archaic when compared to ride share apps in other cities.DimsaumVersion: 2026.7.3
The dayThanks to bike share Toronto I had the best day in a long time . I love to ride bikes and I was sad to be visiting Toronto and using buses all the time but I found this bikes and I’m so happy..Karllomx96Version: 2026.7.3
Easy and fast.After the initial set up being a bit confusing, the actual regular use is super easy and intuitive. I like the easy toggle for seeing open spots vs. available bikes..APqwertyVersion: 2026.7.3

Bike Share Toronto Negative Reviews
Utterly Broken Bike Share System – A Masterclass in FrustrationI honestly don’t understand how Toronto Bike Share manages to operate this poorly. Every time I actually want to ride, there are zero bikes at the popular stations — while other stations in places nobody rides are completely overflowing. Just today, I docked my bike, walked away for not even two minutes, came back, and of course… it was gone. No bikes left for me.
There is absolutely no system in place to balance bike distribution — something that should be incredibly simple to manage. And there’s no button or option in the app to report “no bikes available” so they can send someone to fix it.
My rating for this app is literally zero stars. The only reason it says 1 star is because that’s the lowest the app store lets me give..Userhas1nameVersion: 2025.15.3
Broken standsThe app is fine but half the time it shows an open spot, that spot is broken and can’t return a bike. Missed several classes because of this, thinking there was a spot available nearby but ended up having to bike another 10 minutes and walk 20 back. By then class was mostly over. Need to get the infrastructure and network working. Would have taken an Uber if I knew there were no spots nearby..Jumanji 5264Version: 15.56.31
Worst app ever?Doesn’t work for single purchase. Even if it did, the UI is a joke and designed poorly (seriously defaulting year at 2007 then saying it doesn’t support people under 18 before I have a chance to move?). The payment method then frustratingly says error every time with no support. Seems like they built offshore by someone who never used (and isn’t good at apps). Such a frustrating and poor experience.SPo1115Version: 2025.15.3
Hidden RulesThis app is genuinely trash. It’s like the people who created it think that the average user is low iq. If you have rules like maintaining a certain amount in your chequing account or suspending an account because of failed payments, wouldn’t the best idea be to LET THE CUSTOMER KNOW, instead of repeating “we can’t process your request, try again” why hide notifications and render the app useless..Savage SageVersion: 2025.15.3
Wouldn’t recommendPoor fleet management in the real world means you often can’t get a bike or a dock. This combined with frequent bugs and quirks in the software world = can’t recommend.
Hard to get your money’s worth from the membership.Recire 12345Version: 2025.15.3
No supportI rode about twice as far as I needed and spent twice as much as I should have looking for a functional bike return. There is no number to call or way to end a ride when their equipment fails. I have used the bikes twice with the same problem both times..Variable speedVersion: 15.56.31
Terrible serviceThe app itself is fine, but the Tangerine Bikes are terribly inconsistent. In my first rental, I had to ride to three different stations to find a dock that worked, wasting my time and being charged the entire way. Would not recommend and will never use again..ThearcaneoneVersion: 15.56.31
Other cities have this figured outGo to rent a bike. “Want to use a day pass?”
No.
“Okay re enter password to switch pass type”
Unlock bike.
Try to unlock second bike for partner, it says you can’t unlock two bike types at once ??????
Put my bike back. Try to get it out again. Mechanism is now stuck.
15 bikes in station but 11 out of service.
I take metro instead. Sigh..Cal1114Version: 2025.33.3
App does not work when creating accountChecking credit card fails for multiple credit cards without explanation.JsumacVersion: 15.82.3
Does not workI’m unable to add my credit card. How can I even use the bike? It keeps rejecting it. The app should let users use Apple Pay and sign up easier. What a train wreck.ACx86Version: 2025.33.3
GlitchyTold me that my ride was ended, locked the bike when I docked it, and then 15 hours later charged me $100 for keeping the bike over time. Ridiculous..Asjdjgjhis isnsysVersion: 15.56.33

I’m still madThese bikes will leave you stranded. Dont count on them. Literally the worst.Take my advise and Just walkVersion: 2025.15.3
Password needed every time i get a bikeIt’s just annoying how they strive to make experience worse for you.B133din9.jan3Version: 2025.15.3
Improvement, but not great.Most importantly, missing the code generation feature. Given how many QR codes and bike numbers are illegible this is super important.
GPS seems to lose my location frequently and I need to force close and re-open the app for it to work. Not being able to see dock availability and bike availability at the same time is kind of annoying. I know there’s a toggle but it feels clunky.
Not being able to buy a single ride or day pass for a friend seems like a major miss, the argument “have your friend make their own account” will be the reply but for a friend visiting town for a weekend isn’t going to download a new app and make an account, enter credit card details etc just for a ride or two. We just take the TTC instead.
I will be using the old app for now until some of these are addressed, even if it’s slower and crashes sometimes..Maximus-RideVersion: 15.56.31
No integration with other travel modesI want this app to work with TTC/Presto and GreenP apps…I shouldn’t need to setup new accounts for every mode of transport in the city…ideally there should be discounts for using them in combination, especially if using the ttc and there is an outage…the parking lot and the bike share are in the same place and run by the same org - it’s weird I have to use two apps for the same company….George BellVersion: 15.56.31
Took away an important featureThe way electric bikes are shown in the new version makes it very hard to identify if there is a near by one. I have to click all of them, instead of the colour coding used in the previous version. The little icon put at the bottom is not visible at all..ElectricBikesVersion: 15.56.31
Failed payments with credit card chargesImpossible to setup new credit card on app bacause of error, but still gets charge on credit card ! ?.MlavoieVersion: 2025.15.3
Costumer service always bad!I have an emergency today march 2025 and call the “costumer service number” and guess what? 30 min in the call, make more then 10x calls and nobody answer. Why guys? What the point have a costumer service if you guys never answer? Thanks god i cant give 0 stars. Disgusting costumer service ever..Brayan DiegoVersion: 15.82.3
Never availableThere are never bikes available or none of them end up working so you spend so much time scanning just to have to walk to another bike station when you’re in a rush. So unreliable. Half the bikes are broken or dirty. Get it together bolstered..SaynaaaaVersion: 15.56.31

TerribleOver-collection of personal (and mostly unnecessary) data for profit purposes against users..R4T4RVersion: 2025.15.3
Useless- never worksI wanted to give Toronto bike share a try as I don’t drive. After getting nonsense errors from this stupid app, and their website for 30 minutes, I finally gave up.SammiiuwlVersion: 2025.15.3
Bike racks inaccurateBike racks show inaccurate numbers on the app. very frustrating reaching the rack with 2 free racks on the app. But 0 in reality. No option to report a problem with the racks. Results in extra fees that no-one is refunding.
Avoid.Krissy890.Version: 2025.15.3
Race for the last dockEvery time I want to use the bikes is the same time everyone else does, which means you’re better off saving the anger and ubering or walking..Mmay27Version: 2025.15.3
What the heck is a Channel Gate ErrorSo the app interface was working really good for a while, I liked the user friendliness of it and everything and then magically out of nowhere everyone I would go to unlock a bike (with the $1 unlock plan) it would give me the same error. I tried restarting my device, uninstalling/reinstalling the app, doing it on the web browser instead of the app, and same thing. I even changed methods of payment and made new accounts. Whatever this error is had ruined the usability of this app for me, perhaps forever. If anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated!!.Percolator3000Version: 2025.15.3
Save your money and skip this appThere is ALWAYS some kind of technical issue, either with QR scanning or the app just straight up doesn't work at all. The bike docks are always empty and there are NOT enough bikes in crowded areas - which is literally the whole point. The bikes are heavy and the brakes always make a horrible sound. I doubt this is safe at all. Definitely not worth the 100$ price. Do not use this app - for your own safety and sanity.Super Lazy CatVersion: 2025.15.3
Do not subscribeAwefull service, prepare for “this bike isn’t near to you” or “this vehicle doesn’t exist” when you are right in front of it, also about dock counts not updating and arriving to an empty dock when it says there’s 5 o more. They have no real system to report issues, half of the bikes are in really bad condition and have stupid logistics such as totally filling some stations and leaving you without parking options or leaving stations empty during weeks.
Constantly gives me more issues than what it solves.AncestradVersion: 2025.15.3
Terrible user experienceI needed to use a bike to get from one place to another. This app is horrible, very frustrating and a testament to why i will never use a city bike. If you scan the bare code you get the error, “something went wrong”. If you use the website version and click unlock bike and select a location, there are “no product for user”. I don’t know who your UX and product team, but do better. It shouldn’t be this hard to book a bike.DW-!Version: 2025.15.3
No ApplePay integrationThe fact that there’s no Apple Pay integration is a huge indictment on this app. People aren’t carrying around their wallets as much these days and it presents a significant barrier to getting a bike. Please make it easier to pay you!!!.DessszzszsVersion: 2025.15.3
Bike share TorontoNo parking spaces available anywhere we try to dock the bike. Nobody answers the support number. They want you to take the bike and never be able to park it so they can keep billing you in perpetuity.Bike share reviewVersion: 2025.15.3
UselessIf I could give negative stars I would. None of the bike racks I tried going to had any bikes available, and when I finally did find one, the app wouldn't scan the QR code. I paid for a day pass, and got zero use out of it..3p14159265358Version: 2025.15.3

I need to log out!Overall the app worked pretty well until I found out there is no option for me to log out of my account! It was quite painful tbh. I tried deleted the app data and reinstalled the app, but I still couldn’t logout. At the end I had to delete the whole account and lost all my biking history just so I could logout…..App frequent usersVersion: 2025.15.3
Bike unlock issueTried to unlock a bike, was told I needed to dock my current bike before unlocking (I did not have a bike out). Tried this for 5 minutes before calling the customer service, had to go through the menu before I decided to just call an uber..S.rienaVersion: 2026.7.3

Literal theft do not useAfter attempting to scan seven separate bikes , none of them working despite the app saying they were available. on the seventh scan it told me I could no longer do any more unlocks even though I hadn’t unlocked a single bike. $40 completely wasted. Actual theft of my money..PolterkitesVersion: 2026.7.3
Fake Parking SpotsThe app bugs and stops updating parking spots, and then your stuck talking to customer service to try to end your trip, praying they don’t overcharge you..LilytingtingshangVersion: 2026.7.3
TerribleThis has to be the worse app in all of history of toronto. It’s constantly glitching and confusing and if you call the help desk they just talk random words at you and do not help at all. They need to do better if they want people to use the app and bikes. What an incredible disappointment..Kelli Ray CVersion: 2026.7.3
Unbelievably unreliableMy biggest issue with this app is the misleading information given by the bike station map. It will show that there is one or more bikes available at a certain station, and then you walk to the station and scan the “available” bike. Only then it tells you you that the bike is unavailable. This app is incorrect 75% of the time I try to use it. It’s a wholly unreliable system that you can’t plan for. I feel bad for everyone who’s subscribed to the year long plan. Waste of money considering the bikes rarely work. What I would suggest is having a reason why the bike is unusable. It would be less frustrating if there was an actual reason for the bike to be unusable..A4bentVersion: 2026.7.3

Ad-infestedI really don’t like seeing ads in this app from Tangerine to open accounts with them.
Also, you need the ability to add one or two guest bikes for simultaneous rental for times when we’re getting a bike for ourselves and a guest from out of town, for example..SpockVersion: 2026.7.3
There’s just no bikesI signed up for an annual plan for this service to commute between home, work, and gym and in a week and a half I’ve had 7 or 8 instances where the closes dock to me has no bikes. Sometimes the next closest dock also has no bikes.
Before signing up for the service, check your nearest docks. If they consistently have 3 bikes or more then go for it. If the number of bikes hovers between 0-2 don’t bother. There is a good chance there just won’t be any bikes and you’re literally paying for nothing or you have to walk 20 minutes for the next closest dock or the one after that..ToysjoeVersion: 2026.7.3
