“When the Hyderabad Metro could no longer handle standard cycles, the regulations for cycles in the Metro were altered to foldable cycles around a year ago. While we recognise that space is a problem, as a community, we urge authorities to provide a solution,” said Selvan.

It would be preferable if the Metro authorities could address the issue of first- and last-mile connection by either providing adequate parking or bolstering the public bicycle sharing system.
