Starting in 2010, Lyft Urban Solutions began to export the Bixi brand of bike-share systems to various other cities.

[citation needed] Bruno Rodi purchased the international division in April 2014 and renamed the company to PBSC Urban Solutions.

This was a private non-profit company overseen by Stationnement de Montréal (the Montreal parking authority).

[26][27] Over the course of 2014, Bruno Rodi purchased the international division of Bixi and renamed it to PBSC Urban Solutions.

The company also rolled out its systems in Detroit,[34] Louisville,[35] Tucson[36] & Honolulu[37] in the United States, and Aruba in the Caribbean.

Thanks to its partnership with Tembici and Itaú Unibanco operators, Lyft Urban Solutions expanded its network in Brazil with the deployment of 9,000 bikes in several cities:[39] Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo,[40] Porto Alegre, Vila Velha and Salvador.

[45] In 2020, Lyft Urban Solutions entered the Middle East with the launch of Careem Bike, a fully electric system, in Dubai.

[50] In 2022, the company reached new territories in Colombia and Romania, rolling out its solutions in the cities of Pittsburgh,[51] Bogota,[52][53] Dej, and Sibiu.

The program has been a success and We-Cycle has added Skyhook Solar Stations to several of its e-bike docks throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.

There are different types of stations:PBSC's payment kiosks are touchscreen-operated; most of them accept credit cards for short-term rentals.

Users can unlock bikes using a numeric one-time PIN number generated by the payment kiosk or an app.

They are equipped with grip-shifter-operated internally-geared hubs, drum brakes, mudguards/fenders, chain guard, generator lights, and a front rack.

The one-piece aluminum frame and handlebars conceal cables and fasteners, in an effort to protect them from vandalism and inclement weather.

[26] In February 2014, the city of Montreal bought all Bixi assets, with the intention of selling the international division of the bankrupt company.

[86] On April 9, 2014, Bruno Rodi, a Quebec businessman, bought Bixi's international division for $4 million[87] and renamed it PBSC Urban Solutions.

Central Boston will be served by a network that includes 2,500 bikes, and 290 stations with 3,750 docking spaces, with the potential to expand to a 5,000-bike system.

[93] The Bixi system in Montreal experienced some initial difficulties less than two months after its introduction in 2009, with damage and vandalism to some of the bikes.

Stationnement de Montréal communications director Michel Philibert stated the organization plans to reinforce racks and is testing prototype designs.

In 2012 a legal dispute over software from 8D Technologies led to implementation delays for Chattanooga, New York and San Francisco.

[96] The unexpectedly rapid expansion of export business created cash flow problems for the parent company, PBSC Urban Solutions, which attempted to sell its international operations in June.

[97] A study published in the American Journal of Public Health reports observing:[98] In 2021, a study by Colorado State University in the United-States reported that the usage of bike share systems resulted in a calculated reduction of 4.7 premature deaths, 737 DALYS (disability-adjusted life years) and 36 million dollars (USD) in health economic impacts across the country annually.
