Getting Around Noida
Tram system does not exist in Noida – ignore and rely on metro or auto-rickshaw for local transit. From hostel, take a shared auto to Sector 62 metro (₹10, 5 mins).
Buses are crowded and follow no fixed timetable. Useful only if you're already near Delhi Gate; not recommended for first-time visitors.
Use the prepaid taxi counter inside arrivals for a fixed fare; Ola/Uber can be cheaper but surge pricing peaks after 10 pm.
From airport, take Airport Express to New Delhi, switch to Blue Line towards Noida City Centre. Exit at Sector 62 – hostel is a 10-minute walk. Avoid peak hours (8-10am, 5-8pm).
