Dockless cycle sharing app charts out 7-city plan

This will be followed by an ongoing series of pilot launches of bicycle sharing services in 7 cities i.e. Chennai, Coimbatore, Indore, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Delhi and Pune. With urban mobility emerging as a major civic issue and more and more Indian cities aspiring for smarter cities, government bodies are striving to reduce envi

ronmental impact, improve public transport and the overall quality of life. 

ofo aims to support Indian cities in this mission by advancing the culture of bike sharing as a sustainable mode of local transportation with its hassle free dockless bicycling technology. Furthering its aim of helping India move towards greener transportation, ofo has been launching several pilot projects. 

While this has involved ofo teaming up with selected gated communities and institutions in supporting their cycling infrastructure on a campus-scale for now, it plans to gradually scale up. The aim for ofo is to be one of the preferred modes of transportation within Indian cities for first and last mile commute, contributing to lower carbon emissions and better health for commuters and city dwellers alike. 

Rajarshi Sahai, Director of Public Policy & Communications, ofo said: “Through these localised launches we look forward to providing people with a taste of an ‘easy-to-use’ bicycle-sharing experience and educate them about various benefits associated with cycling.”
