The public bicycle system (PBS) Trin Trin, which is undergoing a technological revamp, is partially live in Mysuru with the authorities deploying about 350 pedal assist cycles on a trial basis at 48 hubs.
Implemented by the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) and Mysuru City Corporation (MCC), Trin Trin will be operationalised in Mysuru by Greenpedia Bike Share Pvt Limited, which has bagged the contract to run the PBS for five years.
The conventional bicycles, which were in operation since the last five years under the earlier PBS, will be replaced by pedal assist bicycles, which are designed to make the task of pedalling easier, while the hubs are also expected to be upgraded from the beam style docks to a dockless system with an Internet of Things (IoT)- based integrated locking system.
