Greater Noida unveils ambitious light rail project for connectivity

Greater Noida stands at the threshold of a transformative era in its public transportation system, with plans underway to introduce a light rail service connecting Noida International Airport, Jewar, and Pari Chowk. The Indian Port Rail and Ropeway Corporation are currently in the process of preparing a feasibility report for this ambitious initiative.

Key features of the Light Rail Project include the submission of the feasibility report within two months, aiming to determine the most suitable transit option for the area?whether it be a light rail system or pod taxis. The project's cost is expected to be higher for the implementation of the light rail compared to pod taxis. Significantly, the initiative aims to enhance connectivity to Jewar Airport, marking a crucial development.

In light of discussions on the pod taxi project in Lucknow, there is contemplation to pursue this initiative under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The Yamuna Authority is playing a pivotal role in preparing the feasibility report for the light rail, and decisions regarding further planning and investment will be made based on the findings of this report.

The anticipated impact of this project on connectivity between Noida and Greater Noida is substantial, with the development expected to significantly improve travel facilities. This project represents a major stride in enhancing Greater Noida's transportation infrastructure, offering not only improved connectivity, especially to Jewar Airport but also the potential to explore innovative transit solutions like pod taxis. The progress of this project is eagerly awaited, with the promise of significantly elevating the ease of commuting in the region.
