Bengaluru moving ahead to make cycling convenient

The Directorate of Urban Land Transport and World Resources Institute have taken an initiative to make the city of Bengaluru cleaner and environmentally friendly. As the number of cyclists increased during and after the COVID-19 lockdown, the prospect to reimagine the city’s congested streets was presented through pop-up cycle lanes. Pop-up cycle lanes are exclusive cycle lanes that have bright orange bollards and are structured to be quick, need-based and cost-efficient. The pop-up cycle lane project stretches on Bengaluru’s Outer Ring Road. It will not only help cyclists stay healthy but also reduce vehicular pollution.
