GreenBIKE is a cycle feeder and rental scheme integrated with Delhi's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system to provide a sustainable transportation option. It includes 5 bicycle stations located near BRT stations, with 50 bicycles available for rental. Surveys found most users were male, aged 20-30, and rented bicycles to commute faster than other modes for distances of 1-5 km. Since launching in 2009, GreenBIKE has gained popularity among commuters, with an average of 50-60 daily users and a 99% customer satisfaction rate. It helps reduce emissions and traffic by providing a low-cost alternative to short car or motorcycle trips within the BRT corridor.

6. Sustainable Public Transportation System
Decision Makers of the World are debating over finding the most Sustainable Public
Transportation system. Metro Rail, Sky Bus, Light Rails are the latest buzz words in
the realm of Public Transport. “Sustainable Transport” is about meeting or helping
the mobility needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their needs. There is a need to look effective solutions like Bus
Rapid Transit.

7. Delhi Bus Rapid Transit Corridor
• Delhi BRT Corridor is 14.5 kms long and
covers the stretch from Dr. Ambedkar
Nagar to Delhi Gate.
– The first part of the corridor stretch
from Dr. Ambedkar Nagar to
Moolchand (5.8 kms) is operational
since April 2008.
– The second part of the stretch from
Moolchand to Delhi Gate (8.7 kms)
became operational in January 2010.
• Delhi Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor
joins the South part of city to the North
side, is considered to be the main arterial
road of Delhi.

9. Need of Feeder System along BRT Corridor
• According to Socio Economic Study of
BRT Corridor Report (2006), the average
distance for which households
commuters along the BRT corridor
commute is 8.6 Kms, though most of
them are commuting between1-5 Kms
(47.7%) or 6-10 Kms (33.5%).
• This data clearly predict that with better
cycling infrastructure and Cycle Share
initiatives, DIMTS can target 50%
households’ commuters.

• Similiary, the average distance of
commuters to reach the place of
destination from bus stop at the BRT
Corridor is 2.2 kms. Around 54% of
commuters have to travel a distance of 1-
5 kms to reach the place of destination
from bus stop and 39% have to travel less
than 1 km.
• DIMTS can target 93% households’
commuters to use bicycle to reach to
their destination using bicycle.
Cycles can be efficient and cost-effective means of transport to access the BRT
system in Delhi. It will help reduce carbon emissions and if implemented with
proper planning, could help the public transport system become carbon-neutral.

11. GreenBIKE Initiatives
• GreenBIKE is first of its kind initiatives in Delhi (even in the
country), which integrate Bus-based Transport system with
cycling.
• In order to develop, an eco-friendly environment near BRT
Corridor in Delhi by discouraging petrol/diesel driven
vehicles on roads and encouraging use of cycles amongst
commuters.
• DIMTS has constructed five (5) cycle stations along the BRT
Corridor on Build-Own-Transfer (BOT) model.
11
GreenBIKE aims to improve the Cycle Transportation System in the city. Besides
hard infrastructure like dedicated cycle tracks and path, there is always a need of
institutional backing to promote cycling as a mode of transport. GreenBIKE
addresses both the issues of providing sustainable feeder network and
supporting hard infrastructure.

12. GreenBIKE – First Cycle Share Scheme in
India
GreenBIKE service was commenced on October 11, 2009 and a cycle rally was
organized in collaboration with Delhi Cycling Club (DCC) on the inaugural day to
enhance the awareness about the ‘Cycle Feeder and Rental Scheme’ along the BRT
corridor.

14. The Bike Sharing System
Three simple steps are necessary to ensure the user care-free and individual transport:
REGISTER – GreenBIKE offers various methods of registration to meet the needs of the user
and city. A user card is made available upon registration.
RIDE – at the GreenBIKE stations, customers can get a bicycle by showing registration card or
identification card to the security personnel.
RETURN – GreenBIKE’s users can return their bike to any station on the corridor. The bike is
automatically locked and ready for the next user
14
• The feeder and rental scheme is currently
introduced at 5 locations - Dr. Ambedkar Nagar,
Shiekh Sarai, Chirag Delhi, Siri Fort and Andrew
Ganj as these are the main junctions and near to
bus stops.
• DIMTS is planning to setup 5 more GreenBIKE
stations between Moolchand to Delhi Gate
stretch.

15. Type of Innovation
15
• Product Innovation - introducing new modern bicycles
• Process Innovation - introducing new cycle sharing concept in India
• Positioning Innovation - repositioning cycling as a sustainable mode of transport then a
poor man’s vehicle
• Paradigm Innovation - introducing cycling as a key feeder service than viewing it as an
object of congestion.

16. Public Awareness - Information Availability
16
DIMTS uses various channels to create awareness about GreenBIKE
Cycle Rally (Climate Ride) – December 2009 Cycle Rally (Earth Hour) – March 2010
• DIMTS organizes cycle rallies frequently in collaboration with different groups on the BRT
Stretch to motivate people to use cycle.
• Social Media tools are being used to reach to large number of people to disseminate
information about the project.

In February 2010, GTZ in co-operation with DIMTS, began to survey, GreenBIKE, the cycle
feeder and rental scheme on the BRT corridor with a view to understand user needs, profiles
and ways in which the scheme could be developed further. The user profile is as follows:
Source: GTZ Survey, February 2010

18. Key Survey Findings
18
• Each station had a daily average of 11 customers.
• 49.6% of all respondents rented a bicycle at least once
a week.
• The average rental time was 174 minutes, which was a
very high figure compared to most other rental
schemes in the world.
• With a bicycle occupancy rate of 1.1, the average
number of trips per day worked out to be only 55
along the BRT corridor stations.
• The user evaluation that the scheme received was
very positive, with almost 99.0% respondents saying
they would use the system regularly.
• 49.6% of all respondents rent a bicycle at least once a
week.
Source: GTZ Survey, February 2010

19. Impact of GreenBIKE
• Although cycling is also attractive for
health and environment reasons, the
majority of users hire cycles for
practical reasons.
• Commuters observe that cycling is
faster than any other mode of
transport’ for completing their trip.
• It is interesting to know that half of
users are ‘regular’, sharing a cycle
more than once a week. Customer
satisfaction rates topped 99% with
this proportion of customers saying
they would rent again.

22. Co-benefits of the Scheme
• Fuel Saving: Currently around 50-60 people
are using the GreenBIKE service, out of which
50% own two-wheeler and four-wheeler.
22
• Wheelchair Facility: All GreenBIKE stations are
near the bus stops at BRT Corridor. This
enables to station Wheelchairs for disabled
and sick persons at these stations.

23. Comparison of Bike Rental Scheme in India
• GTZ has conducted a study to study
Public Cycle Schemes in all developing
cities to find out the status of cycle
sharing scheme around the world.
• GTZ also compared Cycle Sharing scheme
launched in India – Delhi and Thane.
