GREATER NOIDA, Nov. 27 -- The Greater Noida authority has decided to start an E-cycle project to provide last mile connectivity to commuters. The project will be handled and funded by a private agency which will recover the cost out of the advertising process at its kiosks, said officials. The authority will provide 25 square metres of space to build kiosks/stands for the cycles. "The project aims at boosting last-mile connectivity and reducing pollution. The board has approved the project and it will be implemented as per the rules," said Ravi Kumar NG, Greater Noida authority, CEO. The authority approved the citywide e-cycling project on a Build-Operate-Transfer model. The agency selected through e-tendering will set up docking stations, added officials. "It is a significant project for a rapidly growing city like Greater Noida, where the service is expected to ease traffic load, offer an affordable last-mile connectivity, and help curb emissions," said an official. However, the project failed in Noida as nobody used the facility, added officials. The Noida authority had rolled out its e-cycle project in 2023 to promote eco-friendly mobility. The operator was awarded the mandate to run e-cycles at 62 docking stations. At the launch, the company opened 31 stations and promised to scale up to all 62 within four months....
