Abstract

The article discusses the launch of Shillong's first Public Electric Bicycle Sharing (PBS) System, aimed at promoting clean and sustainable urban transport in the Northeast region of India. Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma emphasized the initiative's commitment to enhancing urban mobility for residents and tourists, highlighting the potential for Shillong to become a "walkable city." The PBS system, inaugurated with the support of fitness advocate Milind Soman, allows users to rent electric bicycles from a docking station, promoting eco-friendly transportation. The government plans to further develop a Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) policy and redesign public spaces to support this vision, with the goal of establishing Shillong as India's NMT capital.
