After e-scooter trips double, Bird Canada targets a dozen new cities in 2022
In 12 months, electric scooters have been transformed from novelty items to integral modes of transportation in some Canadian cities. Last month, one of the country’s leading providers of e-scooters, Bird Canada, announced it had registered over 1.3 million trips taken on its e-scooters in 2021 — more than doubling the trips made in 2019 and 2020 combined.
Bird Canada has deployed e-scooter and bike-share pilot programs in Ottawa, Windsor, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Okotoks, Red Deer and St. Albert. The company says there were more than 200,000 unique Bird riders in 2021 and a combined distance travelled of more than 2.9 million kilometres across all eight cities.
Compared to year-over-year numbers from 2020, the company saw a 187 per cent increase in the number of trips taken in Calgary, a 52 per cent increase in Ottawa and a 78 per cent increase in trips in Edmonton.
Now it plans to expand into 12 additional jurisdictions in 2022.
