In order to encourage people to vote in large numbers, Hubballi-Dharawd Smart City Ltd has announced that it will provide a free recharge of Rs 100 for bicycle users.
Under the Smart City project, a public bicycle sharing system has been introduced at 38 locations across Hubballi city by setting up bicycle docks. One has to get a smart card from the Smart City Limited to use these bicycles by paying certain fees fixed by the company. Now, many users swipe smart cards to use bicycles from the docks. Users need to download an app and register to use bicycles. Users are charged on an hourly basis. On May 10, this service will be free or users get Rs 100 recharge top-up amount.
