“Nice experience and this will work as a booster to the concept of NMT as all cities across the globe,” said Shaivik Ranjan Mishra, a Class VIII student of KV-IV, Niladrivihar.

Sharing her experience, Naushin Shidik, a student of audiology at city-based IIRS, Khandagiri, said, “Great experience on the Day 1. I think this will change the city’s outlook towards NMT. The young and old all will definitely get a lot of inspiration for cycling across the city.’’

“A revolution in the city after Mo Bus, the Mo Cycle will not only take the NMT initiative to a new level, but also would make citizens healthy and fitter,’’ Tushar Nayak, a student said.

Debashish Sadangi, a consultant, said, “The city will now wake up to a new start to have smarter and healthier society. I hope more and more cycles would be added to make the last mile connectivity easier.’’
