A few days ago, a fleet of 25 e-rickshaws, called ‘ETO’ was lanched by DMRC from Blue Line’s Noida Electronic City Metro station. The purpose behind the move is to ensure enhanced last-mile connectivity for commuters of Delhi Metro. According to DMRC, these e-rickshaw services will be operating regularly from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, providing last-mile connectivity to Noida Electronic City station’s nearby localities. Now, 25 ETOs have been introduced into service from the Blue Line station, however, by the end of next month, the number will be increased to 100, covering more stations in the Noida metro section of Blue Line.
