This project was initiated by Gandhinagar Urban Development Authority (GUDA) in 2014, from gandhinagar. In the beginning they only had 10 cycle stands and 100 cycles at places like gardens, parks, bus stands, commercial complexes etc.[1] All over gandhinagar they had a great outset with around 400 rides and energetic crowd. Soon they increased the bicycles up-to 400 Gbikes at their stands and is known as the best project in non- motorized category as a public private partnership.[1] It helps you to seek easy and healthy transportation in the city life for daily commuters and thus brings a better change for the economy and its welfare.
benefits[edit]
Using g-bikes in this manner can help the residents of gandhinagar value their public transport systems and enjoy a service like this. It would increase the mode share of cycling in gandhinagar. The best part will be to promote the awareness regarding such active transport which would help improving the public health. Another fact that the authority aims is towards transferring the image of cycle as a popular medium between both middle and upper class people. G-bikes are faster, cheaper and more flexible mode of communication.[2] In colleges having huge campuses it is ideal to use such bicycles by students for transportation which would keep them fit both mentally and physically.
