As if Mumbai's streets weren't crowded enough with traffic, the state transport authority is looking at introducing motorbikes on rent to help improve the last-mile connectivity at railway, Metro and Monorail stations. However, transport experts say a megacity like Mumbai might be the wrong place to have such a scheme.

In its August board meeting, the Maharashtra State Transport Authority said they were examining the legal perspective and seeking inputs on the safety and security aspects of the 'Rent-A-Motorcycle' scheme from the state government and the traffic police before proceeding in the matter.
