The entire plan will be implemented in two phases. The first phase will include the introduction of 2,500 cycles and over 300 cycle stands, while the second phase will see the introduction of 3,000 cycles more. 100 km of tracks will also be created for a smoother operation of these cycles.
What’s More?
To ensure a systematic running of the program, a mobile app will also be created by the appointed private operator to allow users to register themselves. With the app, the users will receive an OTP that can be used for unlocking the cycles.
