NEW DELHI, APRIL 27
A fleet of battery-powered, pollution-free rickshaws was inducted into the city’s transport system on Friday to provide eco-friendly feeder services to Metro commuters. The service, modelled on the lines of similar services in Tokyo, New York and Berlin, was launched by chief minister Sheila Dikshit.
The first cluster of the 25 rickshaws will operate between Malviya Nagar Metro Station and Select City Walk Mall. The promoter of the project Green Wheels Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of the Argentum Group, plans to introduce 5,000 vehicles, branded as G-Rik, within next 15 months.
The company has put in a place a ticketing system with a fixed cost of `10 per passenger per ride.
