27th February 2019 will be a red-letter day for Bangaloreans who struggle to navigate city traffic in a fast, efficient, affordable and environmentally-friendly manner. It is no secret that first mile and last mile connectivity continues to be a problem and that the number of personal vehicles on the roads are increasing every day, leading to clogged roads and rising air pollution. But what if there was a way to cover short distances using an entirely green mode of transportation? Now there is.
