Yes. I didn’t mean ONLY at every LRT stop, I just meant that would be a logical first spot to mark on a map. Obviously they should be other places.
Isn’t DropBike supposed to be dockless though? Admittedly I’ve long forgotten about what their plan is.

Even dockless share uses gathering points where bikes are corralled after charging/repair. Dropbike calls these 'havens'.

SOME dockless systems do that, others allow you to park them anywhere.

So the Region of Waterloo is co-operating with Ottawa, Toronto, and Hamilton? Cool! No wonder politics is so screwed up…

More likely Guelph, Brantford, and Hamilton.

Bikes are arriving!!!

Where are the stations (er..."havens"?) located? I can't seem to find a map anywhere, save for the Engage map of all of the recommended spots.

So Dropbike has launched, though a bit quietly; perhaps because there's not a huge number of bikes available yet. Their hub areas, called 'havens', are also sparse just now; the ones I could find are the Kitchener Market, Queen Ion, and Waterloo city hall. Presumably more are to come.
There's also a defined usage boundary, but that's quite generous; it includes most of central Kitchener and Waterloo from just shy of the Parkway, up to Northfield.

I actually found their boundary extremely restrictive. It doesn't even include all their havens--the one at the Aud is outside it. |
