Approval for operation of 110 city buses
Recently, the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet approved the operation of 110 more e-city buses for Gautam Buddha Nagar. These buses will be operated by the state's Urban Development Department. Noida Authority General Manager SP Singh stated that the Urban Development Department has begun the process of purchasing these buses.
The Urban Development Department had approached the authority to identify a location for a bus depot. The authority has proposed the Sector 82 City Bus Terminal for this purpose.
Operations are being carried out from Sector-90 depot
As a result, 110 new e-city buses will operate from the Sector 82 bus terminal throughout the district within the next few months. The routes for these buses will be determined later.
Thus, this step is significant in making public transportation in Noida more accessible and efficient. Currently, the Authority operates 110 e-city buses from its Sector 90 depot.
