Noida and Greater Noida are gearing up for one of their biggest public transport upgrades ever, electric buses in Noida and Greater Noida will start running from July-August 2026, bringing cleaner, reliable, and frequent travel for daily commuters. The Noida Authority says the plan will roll out over 500 electric buses (e-buses) across multiple routes in these fast-growing cities and the nearby Yamuna Expressway region.
What’s Happening?
For years, residents have struggled with traffic, crowded autos, and limited bus options during peak hours. Now, the Noida Authority is set to change that by launching a phase-wise electric bus service with hundreds of e-buses to serve local neighborhoods, metro stations, colleges, offices, and even connect to the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar.
Who This Affects
- Daily commuters in Noida & Greater Noida
- Students and workers moving between residential and business hubs
- Airport passengers using the new Jewar Airport
- Environment advocates, due to reduced air pollution
FlipMyTravel users will also benefit. The new bus network will soon be mapped into our route planner for easy city travel planning and multi-modal bookings.
Where It Will Run
The e-buses will run across Noida, Greater Noida, and the Yamuna Expressway area – including routes from Shashi Chowk to Ace City, Botanical Garden to Sampoornam, Ek Murti Chowk to G B University, and more.
When It Starts
Officials say the service will begin in July-August 2026 in a phased manner, starting with an initial set of buses and expanding based on commuter demand.
