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.
