Additional Transport Commissioner, Sunita Singh, said, “Five applicants have been granted licences to run the business of renting motor cycles. The licences have been issued for Dehradun, Mussoorie, Rishikesh and Tehri. Along with boosting tourism, it will also increase the range of last-mile connectivity.”
The permit will allow the rental service to offer two-wheelers, including high-end bikes such as Royal Enfield and Harley Davidson. The bikes available for rental will be commercially registered. It is not clear what the rental charges will be and whether they would vary depending on the service provider.
According to Sandeep Saini, Assistant Regional Transport Officer (ARTO) Administration, Dehradun, under the scheme, two-wheelers will have a commercial registration but anyone with a private driving licence will be able to drive unlike in case of commercial vehicles for which a commercial driving licence is mandatory. Certain conditions have to be fulfilled by a permit holder before starting the business of renting of motor cycles for self-driven trips.
