Why don’t you have a station close to where I live?
The two most common reasons are because there is not enough demand in the area or not enough available parking. Unfortunately, we cannot always add stations in the exact locations where we would like to offer the service. This challenge can be greater in some cities and neighbourhoods than in others. Where possible, we work hard to obtain the political support necessary to be able to access parking in locations that might otherwise be unavailable to our service.
When we do expand to new locations, we generally add new stations “step by step”, i.e. at locations that are close to existing stations. We aim to have multiple stations within walking distance of each other, so members have useful alternatives if a car is not available at their preferred station.
We sometimes add stations in locations that are somewhat isolated from our other stations if we see there are already enough members in the area to justify an expansion.
We are of course open to suggestions, but above all we rely on objective criteria to plan the network. We regularly conduct analyses to monitor changes in demand, and our teams are always on the lookout for parking spaces for new stations.
