In significant move to enhance the connectivity, the Delhi govt and Noida international airport authorities have Signed MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) to start the air-conditioned electric buses between Delhi and the upcoming Jewar airport. This initiative will aim to provide a sustainable and comfortable travel option for passengers while reducing dependency on Private Vehicles.
A new electric bus service will connect Delhi to Noida International Airport (approximately 75-85 km) with direct, non-stop routes from three major Delhi pick-up points: Sarai Rohilla, Anand Vihar, and Kamla Market. These electric buses offer eco-friendly and sustainable transport, reducing carbon emissions and promoting green mobility to improve air quality in the region.
Benefits of AC bus
- Comfortable and Convenient: Enjoy a fully air-conditioned ride with GPS tracking and live monitoring for safety and punctuality. Direct routes ensure a faster, smoother journey.
- Benefits for Women and Differently Abled Passengers: Women travel free under the 'pink passes' scheme. Passes for differently-abled persons will also be applicable, promoting inclusive accessibility.
- Affordable Fares: Ticket prices for general passengers will remain competitive, with only a slight increase compared to existing bus services, making it a cost-effective travel option.
- Launch and Expansion: A pilot service will first assess demand and optimize routes. Based on passenger feedback, the fleet size and bus frequency may be increased.
- DTC's Role: Building on its existing fleet of 200 electric buses and connectivity to IGI Airport, the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) reinforces its commitment to sustainable urban mobility with this new initiative.
- Impact: The introduction of electric AC buses from Delhi to Noida Airport marks a significant improvement in NCR public transport, enhancing airport connectivity, reducing congestion, and prioritizing environmental sustainability, affordability, and passenger comfort.
