A mass rapid transportation system is as a "standard" required in areas / regions which have a population of 7-8 Lakhs or more.
People are comparing things with Delhi...where everything is pathetically planned.
Noida-Greater Noida region as a whole have a population of more than 8-9 Lakhs today.
The number of students in Greater noida alone are more than 50-60,000
SEZ along gnoida expressway will employ thousands in the coming 2-3 years.
The daily ridership along this route as per DMRC has been projected at 60-70,000 per day.
On one hand we love to blame the govt when we see metros full to the level..stations jampacked...roads full to the limit but then when something is planned in advance to meet the demand tomorrow by the govt. we question it. Many people come to Greater noida and wonder why roads are made in sectors where houses are yet to come up.
There is something called "Planning" and gnoida and noida authorities have taken a step towards it.
Even financially they will make millions by increasing the land prices in the area (govt selling land, auctions, etc etc)
Its a very smart move..in which not only the authorities will make a lot of money...the public will benefit..end users and investors.
