I know this because I use SimpleLogin to provide each service with its own specialized email address. You can see in the picture the address starts with bixi@sl.***

It’s also possible but unlikely that they sold user data.

    That’s a fair point, it’s totally possible they got breached, I’ll update my title / desc accordingly :)

    Btw, as far as I know, Bixi is owned by Lyft and not the municipality, but feel free to correct me.

      Bixi is owned by Bixi Montréal a non profit created by the city in 2014.

      Your confusion is probably that the founding company, PBSC, is now owned by Lyft. Now called PBSC Urban Solutions, it was the international operations portion of the company before the bankruptcy.

        Oh interesting, that was 10 years ago, some sites are still providing this information as if it were actual and factual. Thanks for the correction!
