Chandigarh's bicycle sharing scheme, initiated in 2020 under the Smart Cities Mission, is encountering significant operational challenges, leading to a decline in user satisfaction. Initially, the program boasted nearly 3 lakh registered users and averaged 31,000 rides per month, contributing to a reduction of 825 metric tonnes of carbon emissions over two years. However, many bicycles are now reported as damaged, missing, or unusable, particularly around key areas like Panjab University. Observations indicate that while official data claims 4,996 bicycles remain, many docking stations are empty, and available bikes often have issues such as deflated tires and broken seats. Local residents and students have expressed their disappointment, stating that the service was once reliable but has now deteriorated. Mayor Saurabh Joshi acknowledged the project's environmental benefits and announced plans to review its feasibility to determine the next steps.
