 CONCEPT AND MECHANISM OF PBS- Chandigarh
BASIC CHARACTERISTICS

terminal
c. Bikes are locked into stands via an
 Bicycle app based locking mechanism

Select
 Network of Stations at key Locations
d. Opening an app and walking up to a
bike on the street
 GPS based tracking of bicycles e. Free to use the system and pay
Ride
according to the usage
f. After finishing the journey, the lock is
simply clicked back into place,  and

CONCEPT OF PUBLIC BIKE SHARING
Return with no need to lock it to a railing.

 NUMBER OF BICYCLES

According to ‘The public bicycling toolkit’ developed by Ministry of Urban Development

(MoUD)-2016, following parameters have been considered to ascertain optimum number of
bicycles in a particular city.
 AREA- For every 5 sq. km area there should be 1000 bicycles
 POPULATION- For every 30 users there should be 1 bicycle

In case of some city in India:

Considering the total area of the urban limits (approximately 100 sq. km) there should be
20,000 cycles.
 Considering population (9,00,000) there should be 30, 000 bicycles

 Initially, low no of cycle can be deployed and the number might be scaled up or down,
depending on the market demand.
