NMRC starts 16 bus routes to take you to Aqua Line stations

Noida: The NMRC has introduced 16 bus routes, which include seven in Noida, three in Greater Noida and three between Noida and Greater Noida, along the 21 metro stations on Aqua Line.
While the new routes will replace 12 of the 13 existing routes, the number of buses will remain the same at 50. The buses will start plying on the new routes from March 15 and will cover almost all metro stations in Noida and Greater Noida, a statement from the NMRC said.

The seven bus routes in Noida include Sector 74 (Cape Town) to Sector 51 metro station, Sector 51 metro station to Sector 137 metro station, Sector 51 metro station to Sector 12/22 (ring route), Sector 51 metro station to Sector 32 metro station via RTO office, Sector 55/56 (Indian Oil Company) to Sector 51 metro station, Sector 142 metro station to Sector 51 metro station and Sector 142 metro station to Botanical Garden metro station.

The three routes in Greater Noida are Sharda University Outer Ring Route, metro depot station to Kasna via Greater Noida Authority station and Dadri railway station to Gautam Buddha University via Kasna.

Three other routes have been introduced in Greater Noida West area: Gaur City (Greater Noida West Sector 1) to Sector 51 metro station, ACE City to Sector 51 metro station and Sampoornam to Sector 51 metro station.

Between the twin cities of Noida and Greater Noida, buses will ply from NSEZ metro station to Kasna via AWHO Society, NSEZ metro station to Dadri via Surajpur and Botanical Garden metro station to Depot Station via Greater Noida Authority.

The routes were planned after the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) conducted a survey. While the UPSRTC had said that the number of buses should be increased and some other routes be included, the NMRC has decided to keep the number of the buses the same. “The NMRC had tweaked the bus routes to suit its requirements and reached at a list of routes on which the buses would ply,” an official said.
