Free parking for bicycles, separate arrangements for specially abled at Metro stations from April

BENGALURU: The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) will soon make free parking arrangements for bicycle riders who reach the Metro stations on their bicycles and for the specially abled.

The Metro authorities will soon submit their parking plan to the Urban Development Department. Currently, the parking fee for bicycles is Re 1 for one hour and Rs 10 for the whole day. The parking fee will be scrapped and a separate parking space created for bicycles.

Vehicles crow the roads around Metro stations.

Separate arrangements will also be made for the specially abled and the new plan will be submitted to the Urban Development Department for approval this month itself and will be implemented from April after it is approved.
