Bhubaneswar: With both Central and State governments gradually easing lockdown norms, MoCycle, the Public Bike Sharing (PBS) system, will resume operation from Monday.
According to Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) which operates the facility in the Capital City, there was heavy demand for resumption of MoCycle service as it provides respite from remaining indoors. Besides, it can help people maintain social distancing even outodoor. Cyclists can avail free ride till June 30.
Dipti Mahapatro, General Manager, CRUT said, “Cycling is a safe way to maintain physical and
mental health. Citizens can avail unlimited free rides in a day. First 30 minutes of
any ride is free.”
Initially, 300 cycles will be available at 50 priority PBS stations across the city. Cleaning and disinfection of the cycles will be done on daily basis.
“After completion of each ride, we will replace the cycle with a sanitized one. Citizens can check on the app whether a particular bicycle is sanitized or not before using it. In larger public interest, we urge citizens to wear masks and gloves while riding cycles,” said Mahapatro.
