Since inception, riders have taken over three million trips and travelled over eight million kilometers in 10 Canadian cities. In just four years, this has saved 316,483* litres of gasoline from being used and over 2,150 metric tons of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere. In 2022 alone, thousands of Bird Canada riders helped 552,810 car journeys be avoided, by choosing to ride an e-scooter or e-bike.
With Bird Canada’s commitment to a more sustainable future at the forefront of its business operations, the company remains focused on reducing gas-powered car trips, decreasing traffic congestion and lowering carbon emissions.
“Repeated studies show that 2.5 e-scooter or e-bike trips replace a car journey, and we’re thrilled to see the significant economic impact that Bird Canada has contributed to over the last four years”, says Bird Canada CEO Stewart Lyons. “We work extremely hard to win the trust and respect of the cities we serve, and therefore are excited by the fact that 98% of respondents felt that Bird Canada vehicles have had a positive impact upon their city.”
The average individual trip length increased 39% year on year, climbing from 2.20 kms to 3.05 kms from 2021. Calgary saw the most rides of all cities where Bird Canada operates, along with the longest trip of 2022 with one customer travelling 68 kms in a single ride, while Edmonton saw the highest number of journeys from one rider; over a thousand rides between May and November 2022.
