Noida to Set Up 100 Auto-Rickshaw Stands (Social Media)
National News: The Noida transport department is going to establish nearly 100 designated auto-rickshaw stands throughout the district to ease traffic congestion and improve last-mile connectivity, officials announced on Monday. The move aims to improve public transport access and prevent unauthorised parking near major transit hubs. A meeting with stakeholders and traffic police is planned for July 26 to finalise pick-up and drop-off locations along main highways.
A meeting to designate pick-up and drop-off points on various routes to ease congestion and provide commuter-friendly public transport is scheduled to take place with stakeholders and traffic police on July 26,” said Siyaram Verma, assistant regional transport officer, Noida. “Following the confirmation of the locations of auto stands, signage and infrastructure will be developed,” Verma added.
The decision was made after consultations with transport officials, traffic police, and the Noida CNG Auto Drivers' Union, which demanded systematic stands and proper regulation. “The stands are important for both commuters and drivers. People will find autos at designated places, while drivers will not be fined for unauthorised parking,” said Omprakash Gurjar, president of the union.
He added that officials received a list of high-demand places earlier this week, including Sector 37, Botanical Garden, Sector 51, Sector 52, Model Town, Surajpur, and others.
According to Noida's transport department, there are 18,000 registered auto-rickshaws in the district, the majority of which provide last-mile connectivity from metro stations and bus stops to residential and commercial areas. From January to June 2025, traffic police issued 1.1 million fines, with 25,000 challans issued to motorists for various violations. According to police statistics, 737 vehicles were impounded during this time period.
