Now commuters can park their cycles at these 10 metro stations in Bengaluru; Check details: Report

Hindustan Times  

In a bid to make commuting around Bengaluru greener and more convenient, the Directorate of Urban Land Transport has launched a project to expand cycle docks to 10 more Bengaluru Metro stations, The Indian Express reported. This initiative, in partnership with the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited, builds on the success of an earlier pilot where cycle stands and “pedal ports” were installed at 10 stations as part of a last-mile connectivity push. With the pilot proving popular, especially at stations like Yelachenahalli and Konanakunte Cross in South Bengaluru where occupancy reached an impressive 113 per cent during the week, the BMRCL approached DULT to consider extending the setup across more stations. After analyzing factors such as ridership, land availability, and existing transit options, DULT has selected stations including Kengeri Bus Terminal, KR Pura, Madavara, and National College, among others, for new cycle docking installations, the publication noted.
