In a major step towards cutting air pollution and aiming healthy lifestyle among the residents, the Chandigarh administration has launched a city-wide public bike sharing project. Now, residents and visitors to the city will be able to take a quick ride from any of the 155 dock stations and park the bicycle back at the nearest dock station post their ride. The project has the potential of turning out to be a game-changer as people would be able to rent a bicycle from any of the city docks and park it back at the nearest dock to their destination, the Indian Express reported.
The bicycle is reachable for people of all age groups and there is no need to possess a driving license to ride the same. The Public Bike service will be fully automatic and users will need to locate the nearest dock through the app, unlock the bike and leave the bike to the nearest dock after their use.
Apart from the mobile bicycle at different dock stations across the city, the project has also provided for the GPS-based tracking of the bicycles, central control system with a call centre, and fare collection system through the mobile application.
