‘With 900 pedaled & 100 electric cycles, Srinagar to have 100 docking stations’
Srinagar, May 04: Amid ongoing works in the city under the much-anticipated Srinagar Smart City project, a trial test for the pedaled cycles was carried out on Thursday here.
Mehran Khan, who heads the operations of e-bikes and pedaled cycles, told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that the operations for the start of e-bikes and cycles are under process and today they carried out testing for operating pedaled cycles.
Khan said they have around 1000 cycles of which 900 are pedaled and 100 are electric and will have around 100 docking stations across the Srinagar city.
“We have a mapped application which shows all the locations of all the stations and anyone after installing it on the phone can avail the cycle from the nearest docking station,” he said.
Speaking about the tariff plans, Mehran said that apart from being good for health and going from one place to another in Srinagar using pedaled cycles, they have made cost-effective pricing with the first 30 minutes of the ride free and afterward charging Rs 5 for 30 minutes.
“We also have a mechanism in place in case of theft as the cycle is fitted and enabled with GPS and can be easily located,” he said.
