BEST to offer e-bike services at 180 bus stops from October

The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) on Thursday announced the roll out of its e-bike services from next month for first and last mile connectivity across the city.

In all, 1,000 e-bikes will be deployed at 180 bus stops as well as in commercial and residential areas. Passengers alighting from buses can use the e-bikes to travel to their destination and back. The e-bikes can be picked up and dropped off at any e-bike station.

BEST has been doing public trials of this service since June. So far, 40,000 people have registered to use the e-bikes as passengers.
