E-buses to connect Noida & Dehradun
Noida, Sept. 27 -- UP transport minister Daya Shankar Singh on Thursday inaugurated an electric bus service between Noida and Dehradun. The launch took place at the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS) in Greater Noida, marking the first electric intercity connection on this route, officials said on Friday.
The bus service will be operated by Ezy Go Bus. Initially, four buses were launched, and the private bus aggregator is preparing to add five more, officials added. Singh urged commuters to adopt public transport for a cleaner commute.
Ezy Go partner Anil Dixit said, "The electric buses will operate from Pari Chowk in Greater Noida to Dehradun via Haridwar, covering the 300-km distance in around five hours."
Services will operate both in the morning and evening, with flexible fares ranging from Rs.400 to Rs.500. "We are also planning to introduce electric buses from Noida to Agra soon," he said.
Currently, there is no electric service between Noida and either Haridwar or Dehradun. The charging stations of these buses are located in Pari Chowk in Greater Noida, Anand Vihar in Delhi, and one in Dehradun.
Noida transport official Siyaram Verma said, "These buses run on electricity and produce zero emissions, improving air quality."
As per the transport department, the UP government is promoting electric mobility through subsidies of Rs.5,000 for electric two-wheelers, up to Rs.1 lakh for electric cars, and Rs.20 lakh for private electric buses....
