Chennai Metro Rail Limited, CMRL has introduced a free bicycle ride scheme for its customers
The Chennai Metro Rail Limited, CMRL has introduced a free bicycle ride scheme for its customers. CMRL has tied up with a private agency to prove 100-hours of bicycle ride free of cost every month.
The CMRL said that the initiative is an effort towards proving last-mile connectivity service to passengers in order to help promote eco-friendly travel in the city.
The move expected to reduce dependence on private vehicles and serve to be the more economical option for the travelers.
The Chennai Metro Rail Limited implemented the scheme after observing the success of bicycle clubs in the Trivandrum, Koch, Infopark, and Technopark in Kerala.
Presently, the scheme free ride is available in four metro stations including Ekkattuthangal, Nehru Park, Thrirumangalam and Anna Nagar Tower.
The only con of the eco-friendly services is the non-availability of any security of tracking system, as it raises the chances of the bicycles getting stole.
However, once the pilot project becomes a success, the facility will be spread in the other areas as well.
