As the government plans to resume flight operations, the travel fare from Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi, could go up to Rs 12,000 within the 250 km radius. Considering the overall fare, charges could be exorbitant for those traveling from the Delhi airport to areas of Noida and Ghaziabad. The Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) has said it'll provide travel facility for those wanting to travel from the Delhi airport within 250 km radius.
The corporation has said the minimum cost for booking a taxi was Rs 10,000 for sedans and Rs 12,000 for SUVs. Any travel beyond that limit is chargeable. If you can't afford a separate taxi, the UPSRTC will run buses for minimum Rs 1,000 per seat for non-air conditioned buses and Rs 1,320 per seat for AC buses in 100 km radius. Fares will double for the additional 100 km. After the permissible transportation limit, passengers will be charged Rs 40-50 per km.
