The Story in Brief
The Delhi government plans to launch direct public bus services from the city to the Noida International Airport at Jewar. A proposal is ready and awaits a Reciprocal Transport Agreement between the transport authorities of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, officials told PTI.
The service will operate from the Anand Vihar and Kashmere Gate interstate bus terminals. The airport, inaugurated by PM Modi on March 28, has been handling passenger flights for nearly a month. The plan is part of a broader push to improve interstate mobility, with the Delhi Transport Corporation already running electric buses on routes to Baraut, Sonipat, Dharuhera, and Panipat.
The Indian Opinion
Talk of better Noida airport connectivity is welcome, but Delhi's inter-state bus network has long suffered from delays and patchy coordination. The pending agreement with Uttar Pradesh is the real test, not the announcement. Will the route see regular frequency, or will it become another under-served service? Commuters will judge by the number of buses that actually turn up each day.
