Nope. Locking a bike outside of the "service area" will cost you $100. Period. I confirmed this with Chelsea at SoBi directly. The "service area" ends at Fennell Ave - because I guess no one in Hamilton lives or goes to that wilderness, or east of Ottawa Street apparently - check the map on their web site and read the FAQ if you want confirmation for yourself.

We ALL paid for this via Metrolinx. We should at least get to use the service to go places where we work and shop and live. The easy compromise would be to allow daytime locking of the bikes outside of the service area for the $3 fee as long as they get back to the hub before some sort of evening curfew time. The real solution would be to service the whole city and treat everyone as equals. Sadly, it doesn't seem at this point that SoBi is interested in either.
