App-based bus service Cityflo urges people to opt for shared mobility amid West Asia crisis

New Delhi, May 13 (UNI) App-based bus service Cityflo has urged citizens to adopt shared mobility in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to increase the use of public transport amid the ongoing West Asia crisis.
Jerin Venad, CEO and Co-Founder of Cityflo, said in a statement, “ Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s appeal to shift to public transport comes at a critical inflection point for India’s urban mobility sector, one shaped as much by geopolitical pressure as by long-term climate commitments.”
“At Cityflo, shared urban transport has been our operating model since inception. Every commuter who moves from their car seat to Cityflo saves 1.8 litres of fuel per trip.”
Venad added that commuters using the service collectively helped avoid the consumption of around 75 lakh litres of fuel last year, a figure that, he said, will only increase with stronger policy support and wider adoption.
“India has immense ridership density and is making rapid progress on urban infrastructure. If the Prime Minister’s appeal signals a broader shift in that direction, the sector is positioned to respond,” Venad added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had on Sunday, issued seven appeals in light of the West Asia crisis, including prioritising work-from-home arrangements, avoiding gold purchases for one year, using metro and public transport, reducing cooking oil consumption, shifting towards natural farming, adopting swadeshi products, and limiting foreign travel for a year.
