Plans afoot for new metro line for Greater Noida (West)
The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) has planned to build a new metro line connecting Greater Noida (West) and providing direct connectivity to commuters between its Aqua Line and DMRC's Blue Line between Sector 51 and Sector 52 metro stations. These decisions were taken during the recent Board Meeting of the NMRC which operates the metro rail project between the twin cities of Noida and Greater Noida adjoining Delhi. Managing Director, NMRC, Ritu Maheshwari, said that the Board decided to expedite the Central government's approval for the DPR from Sector 51 to Knowledge Park V as quickly as possible as the agency has also decided to provide alternative seamless connectivity on priority for commuters of NMRC Aqua Line and DMRC Blue Line between sector 51 and 52 metro stations. The Board also decided on exploring efficient bus routes and providing bus services by engaging small size buses to enhance metro ridership and provide last mile connectivity to commuters, Maheshwari added.
