Project Goals

To develop integrated hardware and software
for issue and deposit of bicycles in smart
automatic stands distributed over a
metropolitan wide area.

The stands could be at bus stops, metro stops,
within closed or open campuses, public parks
or pedestrian only zones like city centers.
A Policy Push For Pedal Power

“Estimates suggest that over 750 km of roads in Delhi
have enough room for cycle tracks. For preparing a
bicycle master plan for the city, the MCD has set up a
cycle track cell with a chief architect, senior engineers
and an expert from IIT-Delhi as its members.”

“The Two big city projects: the new grade separator
coming up at Mukarba crossing on NH 1 and the 16km high-capacity bus corridor between Ambedkar
Nagar and Delhi Gate have cycle tracks incorporated
in the design.”
