History

edit

MYBYK was founded in Ahmedabad, Gujarat in May 2014 by Arjit Soni, supported by private sector funds and the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. The project was started with 200 bicycles and 4 stations, in conjunction with Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS). The bicycle stations are located at BRTS stations, which facilitates public transport users to use bicycles for movement from BRTS stations to home and office.

MYBYK would expand its service to Jamnagar, Mumbai, and Udaipur, operating with 5,500 cycles. In 2022, MYBYK started services in Nagpur in association with Nagpur Metro, with hubs at metro stations for last-mile connectivity. Around the same time, the company expanded services to the largest city of central India, Indore, in partnership with Atal Indore City Transport Service Limited with 1,000 cycles. A plan to increase the number of cycles by 3,000 was also approved.
