With an aim to promote First and Last Mile Connectivity, Maha Metro Nagpur and T S Switch E-Ride Private Limited entered into Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Metro Bhawan, here. The project focuses on offering low-cost, environmentally friendly transportation option that complements the metro system.
The initiative aims to provide a seamless transit experience by ensuring the availability of E-Scooters at all operational Metro stations in the city. Nagpur Metro is setting benchmark for urban mobility by enhancing first and last mile connectivity through this E-Scooter sharing initiative in collaboration with Switch E-Ride.

Key Features of the Service:
- Convenient Access: Dedicated parking spaces for E-Scooters are strategically located near Metro stations, ensuring easy access for commuters.
- App-Based Operations: Users can book, track, and pay for rides through an integrated smartphone application. The app will also provide real-time information about E-Scooter availability, travel routes, and costs.
- Safety and Maintenance: The E-Scooters will undergo regular maintenance, and safety standards will be rigorously enforced, including police verification for staff and compliance with government regulations.
- Green Transportation: This initiative supports Nagpur Metro’s commitment to sustainability, offering an electric mobility solution that reduces carbon emissions and urban congestion.
- Integrated Mobility: The E-Scooter service will align with the Metro’s schedule, operating at least 15 minutes before the first train and continuing until 15 minutes after the last train.
Benefits for Commuters:
• Affordable and flexible transit options for reaching destinations not directly connected by the Metro.
• Easy payment options through mobile wallets on the app.
• Real-time alerts and tracking to ensure a safe and hassle-free ride experience.
Challenges Addressed:
The partnership tackles urban transportation challenges such as traffic congestion, pollution, and inadequate connectivity in remote areas. It also incorporates measures to handle theft, vandalism, and maintenance issues efficiently. This innovative service promises to make commuting more convenient, sustainable, and efficient for the residents of Nagpur.
This project is expected to significantly boost Metro ridership and redefine public transportation in city. Also, Nagpur Metro is working to identify places with Local Planning Authorities to establish docking stations to ensure better penetration of services.
