Since its announcement, various measures have been proposed as to how the people of the nation's capital will tackle the new rule. Offering a helping hand to the citizens of Delhi and at the same time adhering to the core aspect of the Odd/Even Rule, i.e. to dater the growing pollution in the city, Hero Electric today deployed around 100 E-bikes in the city to give free ride to commuters.

    In its official statement, Hero Electric has mentioned that each location will have 5-10 E-bikes with a rider who will help commuters reach last mile destinations from a public point such as metro stations or a busy bus terminal for no charge. The E-bikes will be stationed at these locations during the rush hour i.e. 8 AM - 12 PM & 4 PM TO 8PM and as the riders will be wearing distinctive uniforms, commuters can easily identify them. Some of the key locations include metro exit points in Connaught Place, Kendriya Terminal, Jawaharlal Nehru Metro Station, Anand Vihar, Preet Vihar, Rohini etc
