Noida: For Noida and Greater Noida residents, travelling to and from IGI airport continues to be problem, particularly when a flight is scheduled is to depart or arrive at an odd hour. The absence of proper public transport leaves residents with little option but to pay the exorbitant taxi fares. While DTC runs an airport-service bus on its route number 392A in Noida, residents complain about low frequency. The Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) says their buses cannot ply beyond certain points in Delhi due to lack of permits.
Greater Noida residents are worse off as they stay further away from Noida. "We don't have any form of public transport to travel to the airport at any time of the day," said K P Singh Tomar, president of Federation of Greater Noida RWAs. "With taxi drivers from Delhi unwilling to cross the border, we have to ask a taxi from our city to come to pick us up from the airport late at night," added Tomar.
