Earlier in the plan, the buses were to be transported to Noida by road; however, due to a lack of charging facilities along the route, the Uttar Pradesh Transport Corporation has now decided to bring them by rail. “Buses are expected to arrive by mid-July… These double-decker buses are expected to provide a safe and more reliable option,” said Manoj Kumar, the Regional Manager at Gautam Budh Nagar.

The authorities state that the buses will run on service lanes to avoid congestion on the main road and reduce the chances of flyover-related accidents. A large number of private buses are already operating between Botanical Garden and Pari Chowk. However, commuters have raised repeated complaints about the high prices, lack of designated stops, and overcrowding in these buses.

The fare structure for the new services will also be announced soon after careful inspection and survey.
