The pilot project is one of the measures to strengthen the management of road vehicles in a bid to reduce traffic congestion and environmental pollution in the capital city. Its cost is sourced from funding of the European Committee (EC) and support of participating agencies.
Developed by the University of Transport Technology, the model will be operated starting from the end of November, offering free electric bikes and bicycles for shared use during the pilot period.
The vehicles help passengers of the Kim Ma-Yen Nghia BRT route to travel between the Van Khe bus stop and Aeon Mall Ha Dong.
People wishing to use the system will be supported by BRT staff to install the required application on their mobile phones and register their information at the bus stop and the mall. After being verified, the passengers can hire electric vehicles for their transit routes between the two destinations, which both offer parking spaces for their private means of transport if any.
