Mysuru's Bike Docking Station Now a Cattle Post
Imagine a place where you could borrow a bike, like a library for wheels.
In Mysuru, India, there was such a place called Trin-Trin.
But now, some of these bike spots are being used to tie up cows and other animals!
The government started this bike program to help people use bikes more and reduce pollution.
People liked the bikes at first, but now, the places where you get and return the bikes are not being used for that anymore.
Officials are now looking into why this is happening and will see if they can fix it.
A bicycle docking station in Mysuru is being used as a cattle post.
The docking station was part of the Trin-Trin public bicycle-sharing project launched in 2016.
The project aimed to promote non-motorized vehicles and reduce pollution.
The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is the implementing authority.
MCC officials will investigate the misuse of the docking station.
