Greens candidates elected to Brisbane City Council would back Labor Opposition plans to scrap the $2.4 million bonus scheme for 50 executives and redirect the money to make the CityCycle scheme easier to use.

Some of the money would go towards introducing credit card "tap and go" technology for CityCycle which Greens lord mayoral candidate Ben Pennings said would make the the cycle hire scheme more accessible.

The Greens propose to shake up Brisbane's CityCycles, redirecting executive pay to prop up the cycle system.

Mr Pennings said credit card "tap and go" was a system used in other cities for cycle hire schemes and should be thoroughly investigated for Brisbane.

"It's no secret that CityCycle is broken," Mr Pennings said.
