North Bengaluru neighbourhood Sanjaynagar has got a cycle rental service with 250 cycle stands.
The cycle stands have been installed by the CiFoS (Citizens for Sustainability) with grants received from the United Ways of Bengaluru as part of a Neighbourhood Improvement Partnership. Bengaluru Development Minister K J George launched the service on Saturday.
"The cycle rental services are provided by PEDL from Zoomcar. Initially, they will be providing 70 rental cycles across 13 locations in and around Sanjaynagar. Residents who want to use the rental cycles will have to download the Zoomcar app. The rental cycles come with a basket in the front hence making it convenient for residents to use these cycles for their local shopping and move away from taking a two-wheeler or four-wheeler for this purpose. PEDL has an inaugural offer of Rs 2 per hour as rental charges," the CiFoS said in a press release.
