Earlier there was a proposal for pod taxi

After this meeting, officials said that a proposal has been sent to the central government for approval of the proposal for a light rail link from Noida Airport to Film City. Earlier, there was a plan to connect this 14 km long route through pod taxis. A plan was prepared in this regard in 2021. For this, the first tender for 12 stations on the expressway was issued in July last year, with an estimated project cost of Rs 641.5 crore.

Now Metro, RRTS and Light Rail will run on the same track

However, YEIDA was then tasked to study the options between pod taxis and light rail. After the Uttar Pradesh government approved the 72-km RRTS corridor connecting Ghaziabad and Noida airport, the NCRTC submitted a project report that included the options of pod taxis or light rail.

YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh said, “The plan now is to have three services – metro, RRTS and light rail – on the same track, with only loops and sections different. Metro trains will run at an interval of 3.5 minutes, rapid rail every 7 minutes and light rail every 8 minutes.” The UP government has already approved the plan, which has now been sent to the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry for approval.
