  • Bangalore Metro To offer Two-Wheeler on Hire

    Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation has proposed a policy to assure last mile connectivity. The proposed plan is to have two-wheelers at nine Metro stations to enable commuters to travel short distances for work.

    As per the plan proposed by corporation people can hire two-wheeler from a docking spot at Metro station, finish work, come back to the station and dock the vehicle again. If people have to reach home they can keep the vehicle for a day and dock it at the station next day. The docking stations can be other points as well.

    U A Vasanth Rao, General Manager (Finance), BMRCL, said
    -

    The two-wheeler hiring facility will be set up at Baiyappanahalli, Indiranagar, Trinity, Mantri Square, Rajajinagar, Sandal Soap Factory, Peenya, Mysuru Road and Vijayanagar Metro stations. If the pilot project works well at these stations, the facility will be offered at other stations, too.

    Sounds promising, but I wouldnt be surprised if this vanishes into thin air within months. Previously, they Namma Metro had offered bicycles for last-mile connectivity. Six months later, the bicycles were all gone. God.Knows.Where.

    Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

        Novel idea. Sure to get replicated.
        A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

          If implemented well , it will be very helpful for Bangalore Metro Travellers.
          As BLR metro's reach very limited.

            Harley Davidson and Royal Enfield will be available on the weekends for people to rent


            G Anil who is the co-founder of Wickedride has told the daily that they run regular bike-hiring services in 11 cities in India. He stated that there will be 30 electric bikes available at these stations between 5 am in the morning and 11 pm at night. There will also be five regular bicycles. The more expensive Harley Davidson and Royal Enfield will be available on the weekends for people to rent.
            When a person wants to rent a bike, they are provided a bike, helmet, and a lock. Fuel charges are included and since the bikes are fitted with a GPS they can be tracked at all times. The company also plans to introduce long-term schemes for regulars and as of now has a three-year contract with the BMRCL.

                Good to see Wickedride stepping in for this! Going to be fun
                Every Motorcycle has a tale to be told and there is no greater privilage in the life of a rider than to have truly understood what his Motorcycle stands to tell. Some of the greatest stories in the world are not written, they are experienced.
