Pod Taxi

The pod taxi project in the Yamuna Expressway region aims to connect the Jewar Airport to Film City via a 14.1 km automated, driverless system for seamless, sustainable urban transport. Expected to be a significant project for the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA), the project involves small, electric "pods" running on a guideway, offering on-demand, point-to-point public transit with a low environmental footprint. The project is part of the broader development of the YEIDA region, designed to improve connectivity and support the growing urban and industrial landscape.  

Project Details & Goals

    A Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system using automated, driverless electric "pod cars". 

  • Route: 

    The initial phase will cover a 14.1 km stretch, passing through key sectors of the YEIDA region. 

  • Capacity: 

    Each pod is designed to carry 4-6 passengers at a time. 

Benefits

  • Sustainability: Zero carbon footprint. 
  • Convenience: On-demand, point-to-point service with high vehicle speeds and short waiting times.

Key Developments

  • Approval: 

    YEIDA has approved the project's bid document and revised Detailed Project Report (DPR). 

  • Expansion: 

    There are plans to extend the pod taxi route to Greater Noida's Pari Chowk as part of the second phase. 

  • Significance: 

    This project represents an intersection of innovation, sustainability, and real estate potential for the region.
