In a major step towards improving regional connectivity ahead of the operational expansion of Noida International Airport (Jewar), Haryana Roadways is planning to launch a direct bus service between Gurugram and the airport.
The move aims to offer residents with a cost-effective and hassle-free travel option to expensive cab rides and time-consuming metro routes. At present, there is no direct public transport link between Gurugram and the upcoming airport, forcing passengers to either rely on private taxis or take long, multi-modal metro journeys via Delhi.
Officials said the proposed bus service will significantly cut travel costs. While cab fares to Jewar airport can run high, especially during peak hours, the roadways service is expected to provide a budget-friendly alternative. Additionally, the route is being designed to avoid major congestion points, ensuring smoother and faster connectivity.
“The idea is to provide a seamless, direct link so that passengers do not have to navigate through multiple interchanges or spend heavily on taxis,” a senior official said.
According to departmental sources, a joint team has already conducted a detailed survey of road conditions, potential stoppages, and projected passenger demand. The findings will help finalise routes, fare structures, and bus frequency.
Authorities believe that once the Jewar airport becomes fully operational, a large number of passengers from Gurugram and nearby areas will shift towards it, making efficient connectivity critical.
To fast-track the project, a high-level meeting is scheduled in Palwal on Monday, with officials from Gurugram, Faridabad, Palwal and Ballabhgarh set to participate. The meeting will review the survey report and take final decisions on operational aspects such as bus numbers, ticket pricing, and timetable.
Officials noted that the new service will also help ease congestion at Indira Gandhi International Airport by offering NCR residents, especially from Gurugram, a viable alternative. With Jewar emerging as a major aviation hub, seamless road connectivity is expected to play a key role in shifting passenger traffic.
Once launched, the Gurugram-Jewar direct bus service is likely to transform airport travel for thousands of daily commuters, making it faster, more affordable, and significantly more convenient.
