Two Bike Sharing Systems Open in Mumbai
4 March 2010 - 9:00am
Mumbai has instituted two citywide bike sharing programs. The City Fix takes an inside look.
"Two bicycle-sharing programs have just been launched in the northern part of the peninsula – Cycle Chalao and FreMo. Their stories are very different – the former was started by a group of students, the latter by a former financial CEO – but they’re both after the same goals: fighting climate change, improving mobility and making Mumbai a better place to live."
Cycle Chalao is starting out with 30 bikes and is located near a rail station. It's expected to be used primarily by students commuting to a nearby school. FreMo has five separate stations and about 100 bikes.

For the past half century we have been building communities for the wrong reasons. We built them to sell cars. This created all sorts of problems.
