GMDA CEO seeks plan for transport gaps in Gurgaon, Faridabad

Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) CEO A. Sreenivas urged the formulation of a plan to address the deficiencies in transport infrastructure, specifically emphasising the need for buses and related facilities in Gurugram and Faridabad. In a meeting with authority officials, he instructed them to create a comprehensive plan aimed at enhancing bus services in both cities.

He mentioned that the arrival of new buses was anticipated in October and emphasised the urgent requirement to optimise their usage for improving transportation facilities. Sreenivas, who also serves as the CEO of the Faridabad Metropolitan Development Authority, convened a meeting with officials from both agencies and advocated for a thorough overhaul of the transportation system in both cities, taking into account the evolving development dynamics, as stated in a GMDA-issued statement.

During the meeting, GMBCL officials reported that they operated 150 buses in Gurugram, with 50 buses providing city bus services in Faridabad. They anticipated receiving 100 e-buses from the central government in October. The officials also highlighted the city's need for 1025 buses by 2031 under the mobility plan, with Faridabad requiring 595 such buses.

Addressing the transport infrastructure gap, Sreenivas stated in the meeting that a strategic expansion plan should be formulated until 2031 for both GMDA and FMDA. He emphasised that the existing gap should be gradually addressed in a phased manner. Directives were issued for a comprehensive study to determine the future operational structure required in these cities, conducted by the concerned divisions. Additionally, he recommended conducting a comparative analysis of public transport services in Gurugram and Faridabad in relation to other top-tier one and two cities.
