Thank you @LBBBangalore for this feature! Look for the COVID19 Safety Training Completion Sticker on rickshaws to be sure of a safe & sanitised vehicle. Ride safe, #Bangalore! @fondazioneacra @Enviu @teriin @switchasia #NammaRide #NammaPride lbb.in/bangalore/ride…

We really appreciate your support in keeping #Bangalore's rickshaw drivers and passengers safe! @fondazioneacra @enviu @teriin @switchasia #NammaRide #NammaPride #safetytraining #hygienek

Thank you, Kirti Poonia of Okhai.Org and Pratyush Kumar Panda of #ACCCement and Arunabha Bhattacharya for the connection.

The Namma Auto Project has been mobilizing Hygiene Kits for Auto-drivers in Bangalore. A Mask is among the key elements of these hygiene kits.

Thanks #RadioOne, #Bangalore! Look for this sticker on your rickshaw to ride with a safety trained driver and a rickshaw equipped with a hygiene kit. @fondazioneacra @ENVIU @teriin @switchasia #NammaRide #NammaPride

Look for #rickshaws with these shield stickers to be sure you are in a sanitised and safe ride! Stay safe and ride safe, #Bangalore. @fondazioneacra @Enviu @teriin @switchasia #NammaRide #NammaPride #ridesafe #safetravel #COVID19 #COVIDcaution #sustainabletransport

Our safety trained drivers are equipped with #hygienekits including masks, sanitisers and disinfectants. Their training earns them this sticker which is placed on the rickshaw’s windshield and back window.

We wish you and your loved ones health and happiness this Eid. • • • #NammaRide #NammaPride #ridesafe #safetravel #COVID19 #COVIDcaution #sustainabletransport @fondazioneacra @Enviu @teriin @switchasia

#Bangalore, have you started taking rickshaws again? Thanks to the now ubiquitous nature of #ewallets many of Bangalore's #rickshaw drivers accept digital payments. To keep your rickshaw ride both seamless & contact-free use e-payments whenever possible. #NammaRide #NammaPride

If you'd like to partner with us in this initiative, get in touch with us: contact@nammaauto.org @ACRA @Enviu @switchasia @teriin #sustainabletravel #safetravel #COVID19

Our training programs and hygiene kits can be easily replicated to scale other modes of hired transport in Bangalore including private taxis and corporate shuttles.

We find that #autorickshaws pose several advantages to travel post-lockdown. One of them is that, as a small vehicle, it can be disinfected more often and monitored more closely to meet sanitation standards.
