As people appear to prefer personal modes of commute during a pandemic, the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry has advised states to promote and revive non-motorised transit systems, like cycling, to prevent transmission of the coronavirus. Apart from this, the government also asked them to implement cashless technology on public transport systems. The ministry said New York has added 40 miles of new lanes to support cyclists.
