The much-anticipated inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya has propelled the Uttar Pradesh government to facilitate seamless travel for the influx of pilgrims expected to throng the temple town. Without a doubt it will witness massive participation from devotees, celebrities, and politicians alike, drawing attention from all over the country.

In a move to ensure accessibility and ease for devotees, direct buses from Noida to Ayodhya will soon become operational, confirms officials from the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) Noida Depot to HT. Currently, there are no direct buses to Ayodhya from Noida Depot, and CNG buses cannot cover long distances in one go, he said.

Timing, Ticket Fare Of Direct Buses From Noida To Ayodhya

With a distance of nearly 650km separating Noida from Ayodhya, the logistics of covering this expanse have been meticulously planned. UPSRTC Noida Assistant Regional Manager, NP Singh told HT regarding the arrangements for CNG buses that can travel up to 500km on a full tank. To bridge the gap, a CNG filling facility in Lucknow is being arranged to ensure these direct buses so that the journey can be completed without hindrance.

What to Expect In Terms of Ticket Fare

The discussion on ticket fares is still ongoing, and the UPSRTC is expected to announce the finalized fare structure soon. The initial plan includes operating one or two buses catering to Ayodhya, with the flexibility of increasing the fleet based on rising demand.
According to an official release from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), "After January 22, various activities, including the efficient management of crowds for darshan, worship, and travel, as well as the rapid development of temporary parking, will also be undertaken."

Also, the UP government under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is also planning to start electric buses to Ayodhya soon, mentions an ANI report. District Magistrate Nitish Kumar said that in the coming days, there will be a continuous increase in the number of pilgrims and tourists in Ayodhya.

100 Electric Buses Will Be Operational From 15 Jan

In alignment with sustainable practices, the Uttar Pradesh government is also introducing electric buses to Dharma Path and Ram Path. The operation of 100 electric buses is set to commence from 15 January onwards, enhancing the connectivity further. Further, golf carts and e-rickshaws will be introduced, so that the holy city is seamlessly connected through transportation facilities, including EVs.

All preparations will be completed adhering to the directives of the state government, mentioned District Magistrate. According to the release, "Corridors have been constructed, which we will operate. Some additional parking spaces have been designated. From the crucial Saket Petrol Pump to Lata Mangeshkar Chowk, various parking facilities, including both temporary and permanent, are being developed."

On the Chaudah Kosi and Panchkosi Parikrama routes, new areas have been marked at Udaya Chowk and there will be parking lots as well which will cover 70 acres (10 acres, 35 acres, and 25 acres).

Ram Path and Dharma Path are two of the four main paths in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The other two paths are Bhakti Path and Janmabhoomi Path; which are based on the concepts of four Vedas and four eras or yugas.
