Cycling enthusiasts in the city can now carry their foldable cycles in the last coach of Namma Metro trains.
The move, which is aimed at promoting the green initiative, will also keep cycles exempt from the extra baggage charges. However, the cycles should be of the prescribed dimensions and weight limit, said Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) in a press release on Tuesday.
“The size of the foldable bicycle shall not exceed 60 cm x 45 cm x 25 cm in dimension and it shall not be over 15 kg in weight. It will be subjected to security checks through the baggage scanner during entry,” the release said.
