After Covid hiatus, simulator training back on track at Andheri RTO

In a bid to make road travel safe for riders and passengers, and to create more awareness about rules and regulations, United Way Mumbai in partnership with Castrol India Limited has joined forces with the regional transport office (RTO), Andheri to impart two-wheeler training via simulator to license applicants. A symbolic event was held on August 12 to unveil the simulator:

Asserting that the initiative aims to impart professional training to all the learner license applicants, the RTO official said that Andheri RTO was first in the city to install a two-wheeler simulator which was used for training the license applicants in 2018. However, the initiative was discontinued in March 2020 due to the Covid outbreak followed by lockdown.
