E-Bike Didi Scheme: The Delhi government is preparing to launch a new scheme aimed at women's safety and convenience. This scheme is called the "E-Bike Didi Scheme." Under this scheme, female drivers will transport female tourists from one place to another on electric scooters or bikes. Its primary objective is to provide women with safe, affordable, and comfortable travel.

What is the E-Bike Didi Scheme?
The E-Bike Didi Scheme will be a special transportation facility exclusively for women. Female riders will drop off female passengers at tourist destinations, metro stations, and other important locations. This scheme will be especially beneficial for female tourists traveling alone in the city and seeking a safe journey. The government may first launch this scheme as a pilot project in specific tourist areas. If successful, it will be implemented throughout the city.

Who can become an "E-Bike Didi"?
Women between the ages of 18 and 40 can apply under this scheme, but certain requirements apply. Such as:

The woman must be a resident of Delhi.

She must have a valid driving license.

She must have completed the training provided by the government.

However, the final rules will be decided after the plan is approved.

How will bookings be made?

To implement this plan, the Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation (DTTDC) has signed an agreement with Bharat Taxi. It is expected that women will be able to book e-bikes through the Bharat Taxi app or website. This facility will be exclusively for female passengers.

Special Focus on Safety and Training
Women riders will be provided with information on road safety, vehicle care, good behavior, and tourist destinations. All e-bikes will also have safety features like GPS tracking to ensure a safe and secure ride.

Overall, the E-Bike Didi plan could prove to be a beneficial and safe initiative for women. If successful, it could set an example for other cities.
