Now they can just board from one station, get off at another, and cycle to their destination.”

Sources told commuters who take their bicycles would have to assure that their vehicles don’t utilise a lot of space or be a hindrance to the other passengers.

“Our request to commuters is to carry really compact bicycles or foldable ones and bring them safely, without causing any inconvenience to the other passengers,” stated an official.

Commuters were very happy about the decision. Swetha V, a resident of Alwarpet, said she used to took an auto to the Teynampet station, to head to Anna Nagar for work. “Every day, I spend nearly ₹50 on auto. I already own a cycle, and now I might as well cycle to the station,” she added.
