“ I can see parents who live nearby walking their children to school, then grabbing a
Mobi to work or for running errands.”
“ In short, creating a Mobi station here is a natural fit for the local residents, the school community, and Vancouver at
large.”
“I don't drive so having more docking stations and more bikes available makes Vancouver more accessible to me.”
“A Mobi station would greatly enhance my day-to-day active lifestyle and help me get out and
explore the city more.”
