Getting Around Noida

Noida-Ghaziabad Tram (proposed – not operational) From N/A 0

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).

DTC/Noida City Bus From ₹10 90 min

Buses are crowded and follow no fixed timetable. Useful only if you're already near Delhi Gate; not recommended for first-time visitors.

Airport Taxi (via prepaid counter or Ola/Uber) From ₹500 60 min

Use the prepaid taxi counter inside arrivals for a fixed fare; Ola/Uber can be cheaper but surge pricing peaks after 10 pm.

Airport Express Line + Blue Line From ₹60 90 min

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).
