Submit your routes for cycle lanes: Gov of Karnataka's latest pro-cycling initiative.
Karnataka's Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) has invited Bangalore city cyclists to mark the routes where they prefer cycling lanes. With more people opting for cycling over other forms of exercise, the pandemic has brought the best out of the cycling culture in the city.
The crowdsourcing effort will be open until August 14. If your area is not covered in this cycling district it will open up as soon as the plans and budget for the Cycling District 1 are completed and submitted for implementation.The department is considering Purple Line as a cycling route to work, Red Line as school routes, Orange Line as transit routes, Green Line as Rejuvenate Routes, and Blue Line as neighborhood shop routes.
Cyclists can look at the map to see if their area falls in and around the identified cycling district, observe points of interest such as work, school, rejuvenate and the last mile for transit, mark them and upload, contributing to the crowdsourcing initiative.
The process is simple.
1. Mark routes on the map using tools like:
GPS Visualizer: -
