LUMS - Campus Community Bike Sharing Programme

According to a notification, issued by the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), the university announced the revival of its campus bicycle sharing programme as part of the SarSubz LUMS initiative to make the LUMS campus more environment friendly and sustainable.

The community bike sharing programme for the LUMS campus community is modelled after many such programmes being undertaken internationally (for example in Amsterdam, Montreal, Dublin, Portland, etc.) and will allow anyone in the LUMS community to borrow a bicycle for use on campus or for nearby trips.The bike sharing programme revitalises and builds upon an earlier such programme that had been initiated by the LUMS Environment Action Forum (LEAF) a few years ago with support from the Babar Ali Foundation (BAF). The earlier programme had gone dormant over the years and has now been revitalised as part of SarSubz LUMS. As part of the programme, a number of bicycles have been placed near the main entrance gate of LUMS, anyone in the LUMS community is welcome to borrow these for up to 4 hours for free (a minor charge will be applied for bicycles not returned within the 4-hour period). Bicycles can be used by anyone in the LUMS community who has a smartcard (which will be kept as security) and can be used within campus or for nearby short trips.
