JAKARTA - The French government wants its citizens to leave their cars and use their bicycles to travel after the lockdown due to the corona virus or COVID-19 ends.
According to Reuters, this policy was issued by the French Ministry of Energy and Transportation, which is currently also developing temporary bicycle paths, and providing a subsidy of 20 million euros or IDR 331 billion for bicycle repair costs. The plan also includes increased bicycle parking and training of cycling people.
France will gradually ease lockdowns on Monday 11 May, after nearly two months of running to prevent this pandemic.
"60 percent of trips made in France are less than 5 km, therefore, this is an opportunity for many French people, who are cycling or not, to choose to cycle," said minister Elisabeth Borne.
This "bicycle repair" program will provide a fee of up to 50 euros or Rp.828 thousand for repairs at the sponsored repair shop. The plan will also support a program that allows offices to pay travel costs for employees traveling by bicycle of up to 400 euros, or Rp.6.6 million.
Currently, Paris has about 370 km of cycle paths and temporary lanes which are expected to increase to 650 km.
