Greater Noida. Yamuna Authority will run 100 EV buses for the connectivity of Noida International Airport. These buses will be run with the help of private operators. Divisional Commissioner Meerut Division Selva Kumari J. Has approved the operation of buses. Authority officials will hold a meeting with ARTO this week and decide the route of the buses. Buses will start operating from November 15.
Fifty buses will be operated for airport connectivity and fifty buses will be operated for connectivity of Yamuna Authority sectors. As the number of passengers increases, 250 more buses will be run. Movement of passengers to the airport is challenging. To solve this, a plan has been prepared to operate 100 EV buses. This proposal of Yamuna Authority has received the approval of the Divisional Commissioner. There will be a meeting this week to decide the routes for the buses.
The buses operated for airport connectivity will run to IGI Airport Delhi, major places of Delhi besides Ghaziabad, Noida and Greater Noida. With this, passengers will be able to reach the airport easily. Chief Executive Officer of Yamuna Authority says that in determining the route, initially a radius of up to 150 km will be decided. In future, it will be expanded to 26 districts of UP, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand including Delhi. The detailed project report of Noida International Airport was prepared on the basis of the number of passengers received in these 26 districts.
For connectivity of the airport and YIDA sectors, buses will be operated with the help of private operators. If the operating cost of buses and the income from passengers decreases, then Yamuna Authority will compensate for it. There is currently no public transport facility in the Yida area. The operation of fifty EV buses will also provide connectivity to the sectors of the Yida region. Allottees have started living in Sector 22D.
Apart from this, allottees have got construction done in Sector 18. A complex of institutions is being constructed in Sector 22E.
