Between growth and challenges: what place for bike-sharing in Indian cities?
In recent years, India has seen the emergence of bike-sharing systems in several major cities. Inspired by European and Chinese experiences and supported by national policies promoting sustainable urban mobility, these services offer an affordable, eco-friendly alternative suited for short-distance travel. According to a 2011 census, 25% of Indian workers lived within one kilometer of their workplace, and one-third between two and five kilometers. Faced with increasingly congested and polluted cities, bike-sharing appears to be a concrete response to the challenges of mobility, inclusion, and ecological transition. Between promising trials, structural obstacles, and evolving business models, this form of soft mobility is finding its place in India’s urban landscape.
