In response to a damning report exposing the dismal state of smart bikes citywide, the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) sprang into action. GCC officials confirmed the retrieval and reinstallation of bicycles at various cycling hubs, including those situated at Nungambakkam, Kilpauk, and Nehru Park metro stations.
An authoritative source disclosed that directives were promptly issued to the bike handlers to gather the defunct cycles for maintenance. Initiated in 2019 under the Smart City Mission, these bikes were intended to combat pollution and ease traffic congestion. The GCC had entrusted the operation of these smart bikes to an external contractor.
