BIXI and Chrono, a dynamic duo!
24 August 2023
Did you know that Chrono can provide you with all the BIXI network information you need? It can help you easily find the nearest stations, add stations to your favourites or check the occupancy rate of a specific station.
OPUS card holders can also unlock a BIXI directly in the Chrono app.
Keep an eye on your favourite stations
Looking for the stations you use the most? Move around the map and try out its custom filters in the bottom right corner to find your BIXI stations.
When you find a BIXI station that you use often, hit the star to add it to your favorites.
Reserve and unlock your BIXI

Sign into your BIXI account from the main menu in Chrono. Find the BIXI icon in the Partners section and press the “Sign in” button. Enter your username and password and voilà! You can now reserve and unlock your BIXI.
Not yet a BIXI member?
Now’s your chance to create an account. From the main menu in Chrono, find the BIXI icon in the Partners section and press the “Sign in” button. From the BIXI sign in page, press “Create an account” and you’ll be redirected to the BIXI website to sign up for membership.
Plan your bike route
Want to plan your bike route? Enter your destination in the trip planner (the search bar at the top of the home page) and launch the search.
Chrono often provides several different routes, be it for public transit or bicycle. To see bike routes, press the bike-mode button on the right of the screen under the map. From there, you’ll see the suggested routes for your bike trip.
