GURUGRAM: In a bid to resolve Gurugram’s last mile connectivity issue, the Gurugram Metropolitan City Bus Limited (GMCBL) has launched an app based public electric bike sharing services. The service will allow daily commuters who avail public mode of transportation to rent e-bikes or e-scooters from the app, Mobycy, to commute between various bus stations, metro stations etc. Commuters will be able to hire battery-powered scooters and e-bikes at various bus queue shelters located at Huda City Centre, Iffco Chowk, Sushant Lok, along Golf Course Road and Sohna Road.
“Daily commuters are the prime beneficiaries of this development, as now they can easily rent an electric bike from Mobycy’s app to complete their last-mile commute,” the GMCBL said in a press release on August 1.
Akash Gupta, founder of Mobycy, the e-scooter company, highlighted that 500 scooters and e-bikes have been deployed at the said stations. “We are planning to scale it up to 5,000 over the next year,” Gupta added. Commuters will have to scan a QR code in order to unlock the vehicle. “The e-scooters will be a big benefit to people for whom last-mile connectivity is still an issue. We encourage people to take advantage of this new option,” said Arun Sharma, general manager, GMCBL
