has hailed Hero Moto
Limited for introducing
special bike service which
would provide last mile
transportation solution for
Metro rail commuters.

buses and autos are
inadequate and do not
provide the last mile
solution to people. But
this bike service would be
revolutionary in meeting
this gap.” said Jaipal

migration of people and
cross movement to
downtown areas has put a lot
of pressure on already
choking infrastructure.

station, any person with the
UID (Unique identity) that
verifies license and mobile
commerce account can take
the bike and reach his
destination. GPS tracker in
the bike would let the
logistics company to get the
bike back to the nearest
parking bay which are
