Will it come along with a bottle of 'Gatorade'? Isn't that some energy drink? I have never tried it so far, though :))).

Bicycle as a last mile has been proposed in commuter rail stations as well. In fact the proposal is to have carriages in the rolling stock which can carry cycles. But a renting scheme in areas like the CBD will probably be more effective than at work places where the cycle tends to get parked more than rode on. Would you take a cycle if available on rent within the CBD? Do cast you vote on the post above.

I think this is a good suggestion. It provides one more option that is also environment-friendly for those that opt to use metro, but fear the long walk after getting off.

Planning a Praja or other branded Bicycle sharing program at CBD metro stations (2 nos for now) & BMTC stands (btwn 3-5 nos) on a funded non-profit mode. Space & permissions need to be discussed with relevant authorities. Anybody willing to fund this please reach out to me. It will be a 2 year pilot in CBD (MG road & surrounding)
Any bike enthusiast community who can manage this on an ongoing basis please reach out to me.
More details on the model is here

BIXI is a popular bike sharing company who operates in London, Boston. If they can start operations in Namma Bengaluru, it will be good.
