Ghaziabad News Today: NCRTC has started a free shuttle service between Ghaziabad Namo Bharat Station and Metro Station for the convenience of passengers. This will make the commute much easier for passengers. NCRTC started this facility keeping the environment in mind. 

This service has been launched as a free shuttle service to connect Ghaziabad Namo Bharat Station and Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda) Metro Station. This initiative is a part of the efforts being made by NCRTC towards improving last mile connectivity for passengers.

Free service for passengers
There is a distance of about 300 meters between Namo Bharat and Metro station. E-rickshaws are available under the shuttle service to improve connectivity between these two stations. These will transport passengers from one station to another free of cost during peak hours and will ensure comfortable, safe and hassle-free travel for passengers. 

Ghaziabad Namo Bharat Station is located at Meerut Mor Tiraha on Ghaziabad- Meerut Road, which is between major roads. This area has a large number of pedestrians travelling on a daily basis. Especially thousands of residents of Ghaziabad pass through Meerut Road Tiraha for work and other daily activities. 

An effort has been made to promote environmentally friendly transport options through the shuttle service. As the demand for this increases, the fleet of this service running between the two stations will be expanded in the future. 

Shuttle service will make travel safe.
Apart from this, there is a lot of passenger movement at Shaheed Sthal Naya Bus Adda Metro Station located nearby. However, due to lack of direct connectivity between the two stations, passengers have to cross the road unsafely to reach the metro station. Keeping in mind the increasing traffic, safety and facilities of passengers, NCRTC has started this shuttle service.

In the coming time, Shaheed Sthal, New Bus Adda Metro Station will be connected to Namo Bharat Station through a foot-over bridge. This will ensure safe and easy access. Currently, the construction of this foot-over bridge is in progress. During this time, this shuttle service will be available to ensure uninterrupted service for the passengers.

Electric buses operated by Ghaziabad City Transport Services Limited are already providing last mile connectivity to all Namo Bharat stations in Ghaziabad. These buses run on seven different routes including Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, DPS Rajnagar Guldhar, Duhai, Murad Nagar, Modi Nagar South and Modi Nagar North stations. Along with this, taxi services by mobility partners are also available for passengers, some of which also offer discounts for Namo Bharat train passengers.
