HYDERABAD: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has planned to introduce Cycle Sharing System (CSS) on a pilot basis at about 20 locations in GHMC’s Khairatabad Zone. According to the civic body, the initiative has been taken up to encourage people to turn towards an eco-friendly and low-cost mobility solution.
This scheme will involve providing cycles in a closelyspaced network of fully automated stations in which users can check out cycles at one station and return them to any other station in the network. The civic body has invited requests for proposals to develop, design, procure,install, operate and maintain the CSS at various locations in Khairatabad Zone.
“The service provider needs to submit the proposed station positions and layouts to GHMC for approval,” the GHMC said.
The rollout of CSS would be paired with the introduction of dedicated cycling facilities in Khairatabad Zone for providing 20 docking stations, which are viable for the public and each station will be in the range of two to three kilometre of radius.
The Hyderabad Public Bicycle Sharing (PBS) system will connect these stations to key modes of public transport, including Metro stations, bus stops etc.
