“Personal2PublicViaCycle,” a campaign aimed at showing people the bicycle parking facilities at Namma Metro stations and encouraging people to embrace cycling for their first and last-mile connectivity to the metro was launched by the Council for Active Mobility (CFAM) , in collaboration with World Resources Institute (WRI), BPAC, and Bangalore Apartment Federation (BAF), on Sunday at Yelachenahalli metro station.
In the city, the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) has deployed 200 bicycle stands in nine metro stations and 11 BMTC TTMCs to enable first and last-mile connectivity to public transport.
“The first of the many such events witnessed enthusiastic participation from residents of South Bengaluru. The initiative, supported by the Sustainable Mobility Network (SMN) map project, focused on fostering behavioural changes and raising awareness about the benefits of active mobility, specifically walking and cycling, as viable alternatives to motorised transport,” a release stated.
