The Uttar Pradesh Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) has bolstered its transportation services in Noida and Greater Noida with the introduction of 60 new buses. Commencing operations on July 16, these buses are aimed at enhancing connectivity to key destinations and providing a more seamless travel experience for passengers.
Improved Connectivity to Key Destinations
The addition of 60 new buses to the existing fleet in Noida and Greater Noida comes as a significant boost to the region’s transportation network. With the expansion of the fleet, UPSRTC aims to enhance connectivity to important destinations, including Lucknow, Chandausi, Bulandshahr, Dadri, Vrindavan, Etah, Haridwar, Agra, and Bijnor. These new buses are expected to cater to the increasing travel demand in the region and offer better connectivity options to commuters.
Integration of UPSRTC New Buses into Existing and New Routes
The 60 new buses, which include 36 CNG buses allocated to Noida and 24 to the Greater Noida depot, have been seamlessly integrated into both existing and new routes. This strategic approach ensures improved connectivity and convenience for passengers traveling between different locations within and beyond Noida and Greater Noida.
Impact on Passenger Traffic and Hiring of New Drivers
The increased availability of buses has led to a notable surge in passenger traffic, with an additional 6,500 people now accessing the services of both Noida and Greater Noida depots on a daily basis. To manage this growth and support the expansion, UPSRTC has hired 80 new drivers to ensure a smooth and efficient travel experience for commuters.
Encouraging Online Bookings for Hassle-Free Travel
Despite the improved bus services, officials noted that the number of online bookings at UPSRTC Noida depots remains relatively low. To encourage more passengers to utilize the convenience of online booking, the authorities are actively disseminating information through pamphlets and ticket counters. Passengers are being urged to take advantage of the official UPSRTC website for hassle-free online bookings, providing greater ease and efficiency in securing bus tickets.
With the launch of 60 new buses, UPSRTC reinforces its commitment to providing reliable and efficient transportation services to residents and visitors of Noida and Greater Noida. The increased connectivity and emphasis on online bookings will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping the future of public transportation in the region, making travel more convenient, accessible, and eco-friendly for all.
