Just lifting this data off each of the two scheme's webiste:
| Brisbane | Toronto | |
| Subscribers | 4700 | 1700 |
| Stations | 100 | 75 |
| Bikes | 2,000 | 1,000 |
| Trips | 40,000 | 10,000 |
| Subscription/yr | $60 | $95 |
| Population | 2,013,000 | 5,113,000 |
* Toronto and Brisbane both share mandatory helmet laws
Despite all the bad publicity, Brisbane's Citycycle is doing pretty well when compared to other new cycle hire schemes. Commercial success is not likely to be either City's core objective here. So keep with the faith. Cycling is the superior transport model in the congested inner urban landscape.
