Noida International Airport, located in Jewar, is gearing up to start operations soon, and in preparation, the Yamuna Development Authority is planning to launch 100 electric buses to connect the airport with Delhi-NCR and other major cities in western Uttar Pradesh. The service is expected to be operational by November, providing a much-needed transportation solution for airport passengers and security personnel.
Yamuna Development Authority to Release RFP for Large Contractors
The Yamuna Development Authority will soon issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to hire large contractors to manage the electric bus service. Only major contractors will be eligible to bid in the tender process. The buses will be operated under a private contract to ensure efficient service for commuters.
1,047 CISF Personnel to be Deployed for Airport Security
With the commencement of Noida Airport’s operations, 1,047 Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel will be stationed at the airport to handle security. The electric bus service will also benefit these security officers, offering them a direct and reliable commute to the airport.
Bus Routes to Cover Delhi-NCR and Key Areas in Yamuna City
In the first phase, 50 electric buses will connect Noida International Airport with vital locations, such as Pari Chowk, Botanical Garden, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI), ISBT, and Ghaziabad. The remaining 50 buses will service key sectors in Yamuna City, including sectors 18, 20, and 22D. This initiative will provide a direct link to the airport for travelers from these areas.
Electric Bus Service Aims to Address Transportation Challenges for Passengers
Currently, there is no direct public transportation available to the airport. This electric bus service will fill that gap, offering passengers a convenient way to travel between the airport and major cities in the region. The service is expected to be a crucial part of the airport’s infrastructure, making it easier for travelers to access the airport.
