# Focus on Toronto, Canada!

Our blog posts series presents the different cities with which [Qucit](/content/en/home/index.html) has partnered to offer mobility system optimization solutions. Discover how our solutions contribute to improving urban mobility in these areas!

Ranked as the most sustainable city in North America, Toronto has made great environmental progress in recent decades! With its **16,000 trees** per m² and its green roofs, becoming mandatory since **2010**, Canada's largest city is a green oasis in the middle of an urban landscape typical for the American continent. Who says sustainable development, says sustainable mobility too! The city has **855 km** of cycle paths and a large pedestrian zone located on the **15 islands** that surround the city center. In order to encourage soft mobility, the City launched in **2011** its first self-service bicycle system - [Bike Share Toronto](https://bikesharetoronto.com/)!

**Bike Share Toronto** now has **6,852 bikes**, including **300 electric**, and **625 stations**, which makes this system the largest in North America! The popularity of this system has been steadily increasing since its inception. Only in 2020, the number of users increased by **22%**. To ensure a reliable and balanced system for users, [Qucit](/content/en/home/index.html) has been supporting the operator Shift Transit since **April 2020**. From this date, rebalancers have been using the [Qucit Bike](/content/en/qucit-bike/index.html) app to optimize station rebalancing. The [collaboration between Shift Transit and Qucit](/content/en/references-qucit-bike/shift-transit/index.html) has notably enabled the operator to reduce the number of empty stations by **68%** and to increase the availability of its bicycles by **66%**!
