Ghaziabad: Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) officials on Wednesday met five private consultants to discuss the feasibility of constructing a new public transit system called Metrolite to connect the Mohan Nagar station on the Metro’s Red Line to the Vaishali station on the Blue Line, but the authority’s financial crunch might pose a roadblock.
According to officials, Metrolite is an urban transit system planned in cities with lower ridership projections and intended to act as a feeder system for the existing Metro network.
GDA officials said they discussed with the consultants the feasibility of bringing in Metrolite in the public-private-partnership (PPP) mode in order to save costs since the authority is currently cash-strapped.
