Specially designed e-rickshaws provide safety and last-mile connectivity
The e-rickshaws were launched by Delhi Metro in partnership with SmartE. They are designed with full-front windscreen, covered cabins, CCTV-cameras, and GPS-devices to offer last-mile connectivity within a 3-4km radius of the stations. They operate at nominal fares: Rs. 10 for first 2kms and Rs. 5/km thereafter. By 2017 end, another 500 e-rickshaws would operate from all 14 DMRC stations in Gurugram and Faridabad.
