Revised fare structure makes bus travel between Delhi and Noida more expensive than a Metro ride
Thirty-year-old bank executive Saurabh Khandelwal preferred a bus to the Metro for travelling between Delhi and Noida. But on Thursday, when he calculated the impact of the revised bus fares on his wallet, he realised the Metro ride could be cheaper.
After the Delhi government's decision to phase out private Blueline buses on the Delhi-Noida route from Thursday, the bus journey between the two towns has become costlier. The private buses have been replaced with DTC ones, which charge according to interstate rates. Khandelwal now has to buy two tickets - one for his journey in Delhi and another for Uttar Pradesh.
