Ironically, those who accuse me this support would have been the first to criticize the administration to launch a project rather Bicycle even city budgets. As it has done in every other urban centers which have acquired BIXI, note it except two.
Personally, I confess, I still believe that the idea was not wacky, it was even something of a visionary. No coincidence that the BIXI rolls into 15 cities across the world, Melbourne, Boston, Washington, Chicago and especially New York and London.
An entrepreneur who intimately knows the file pointed out to me this week that a little-known dimension of BIXI internationally, is the satisfaction pilates of the cities that are laid purchaser.
"Excluding the software problems and delivery time, he told me, cities that use the BIXI system like the product itself. They want to add their bikes system. They would receive pilates their bikes and stations earlier. BIXI is a great product, what is not said enough. It is not by chance that most large international contracts were signed by BIXI. "
In addition, the BIXI beamed worldwide from its Quebec roots. We talk still imagined by a Montrealer pilates Michel Dallaire concept, built by the Quebec Vinci, maintained by a social enterprise from home.
BIXI rolling on three continents are also manufactured in Saguenay, the expertise needed for their deployment comes from Quebec, and the call service serving seven North American cities in Montreal.
Gérald Tremblay has therefore not covered too big, contrary to what everyone supports. Instead, he wanted too much, too fast, by quickly establish a marketable service to pay 100% of the costs of local bike network so that it does not cost taxpayers a penny.
This necessarily involved a risk, as with any business venture. pilates A risk that turned into a nightmare pilates after very bad business decisions. Risk, we see today, which was too big for a municipality that thought just get away with a loan repaid in ten years.
Does it say that the idea of Gérald Tremblay was bad? I do not believe, rather it was too risky for a municipality, based on an opaque business pilates model (something I have often lamented), a rickety structure (complaint I often him) a management team that has miserably failed in the task (the idea of software-house was suicidal).
So it was a mistake, we see a posteriori, a mistake that I unfortunately supported (and when I say mistake, it is important to say, this is not the BIXI as such, which I think always. This is the idea of taking the risk of self-financing by foreign sales).
I just point out one thing: the best way to never make mistakes, to avoid that you furnish under the nose of your past writings is to oppose and criticize all, is to believe all the corrupt world and incompetent is to simply lay negative texts skinning everyone, all the time.
Support projects when they seem promising, given the benefit of the doubt when they elected to power, to stand up for something or someone is taking the risk, unfortunately, be wrong
