The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking on Friday announced the launch of a public trial of electric bikes at key city bus stops. When bus passengers alight from the bus, they can use these e-bikes to travel to their final destination. E-bike stations are also being set up at commercial and residential areas. BEST is India’s first bus transport operator to offer such integrated last mile services.

The project has been implemented in partnership with Vogo, one of India’s leading self-drive shared mobility company, that pioneered two-wheeler rentals in India. When fully operational, this service will be integrated with the BEST Chalo App. Users of BEST bus pass and Super Saver plans will also be able to use these e-bikes.
