Clean and green solution for short-distance city travel
The Energy Management Centre, Kerala (EMC), the Power Department agency which promotes energy conservation and acts as the lead entity for the ‘Go Electric’ e-mobility campaign in the State, has proposed ‘Public Bike Sharing’ (PBS) schemes as a clean and green solution for short-distance city travel.
PBS will be piloted in Thiruvananthapuram city with non-geared and geared bicycles and e-bikes. The service can be extended to other urban locations if the response is encouraging, EMC director R. Harikumar said. On the lookout for service providers, EMC is also planning to get startups on board the initiative, he said.
