The Story in Brief
The Delhi government plans to run public buses from Anand Vihar and Kashmere Gate interstate bus terminals to Noida International Airport in Jewar. The services will depend on a Reciprocal Transport Agreement between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh transport authorities, which officials said would be signed soon. A proposal has been prepared, but no launch date has been announced. The airport began passenger flight operations about a month ago, according to PTI as cited by The Times of India.
The Delhi Transport Corporation had earlier approved 100 electric interstate buses on 17 routes. Services have started on routes to Baraut, Sonipat, Dharuhera and Panipat. The Jewar airport was inaugurated on March 28 and is expected to improve links across the National Capital Region and western Uttar Pradesh.
The Indian Opinion
The claim that Jewar will quickly replace Delhi’s existing airport links is premature, while dismissing the bus plan as mere paperwork is also unfair. The proposal addresses a real gap for passengers without private vehicles, but its value will depend on reliable timings, affordable fares and coordination across state borders. The first useful test is simple: when the agreement is signed, how soon do regular buses actually begin, and how many daily services run?
