ofo, the world's
first dock less bicycle-sharing platform operated via mobile app, and
the largest bicycle-sharing company in the world, has started rolling
out city-level services for the first time in the country, starting
from the city of Coimbatore.
The ofo launch in
Coimbatore is in collaboration with Government of Tamil Nadu -
Department of Municipal Administration, and Coimbatore City Municipal
Corporation towards the smart mobility objective of the national
'Smart Cities Mission'.
Since its entry
into the Indian market early this year, ofo's dockless bicycles have
been changing the way commuters see mobility. Presenting a
convenient, safe, and affordable riding experience, ofo, prior to the
city level launch in Coimbatore has been operational in select gated
communities, educational campuses, IT campuses and public parks
across seven cities including Chennai, Pune, Indore, Ahmedabad,
Bangalore, and Delhi.
The launch was
inaugurated by Honourable Minister for Municipal Administration, S.
P. Velumani. Thanking ofo for choosing Coimbatore as one of the first
cities for launching its city-level services in India he said,
"bicycle sharing is an environmentally important option aimed at
de-congesting cities and the Tamil Nadu government will take steps to
introduce this system in other parts of the state as well."
The event in
Coimbatore saw key dignitaries and officials from the state
government and the city administration confirming their commitment to
creating infrastructure for green modes of transportation such as
cycling and urging citizens to adopt clean, convenient, and
affordable bicycle-sharing platforms like ofo.
