Yamuna Expressway inaugurated. Two wheelers allowed. No toll charges till Aug 15

This development would surely excite a lot of motorists up in the north of the country. The much publicized Yamuna Expressway, a 165-km six-lane freeway, was inaugurated yesterday. This freeway should enable the travellers to cover the distance between New Delhi and Taj Mahal in just two and a half hours! As expected, users would have to pay toll fees for the usage of the new freeway. Toll would be collected from the cars at the rate of Rs. 2.10/km. Toll booths have been positioned at 38 km, 95 km and 150 km from Greater Noida. 

Unlike the Mum-Pune expressway, which is closed to two wheelers, the Yamuna Expressway is open to two wheelers for a toll charge of Rs 150. While this is surely a good news for every bike enthusiast out there, we wonder how well wlll the ‘not-so-capable’ 100cc bikes co exist with the high speed traffic. What do you feel?   

Jaypee Group, the builders of the Yamuna Expressway, has decided to give a six-day free ride to the users of the expressway and hence, charge no toll till August 15.

  1. Have you seen the way 2 wheelers whiz in and out on roads in metros and our cities?
    Would u like to be on one where a Fortuner or a Safari are cruising at 160kmph and suddenly overtake you? Or consider this, you are IN the Safari at 160kmph and a biker is suddenly comes in front of you in the third lane!

  2. not so capable 100cc. there are bigger capacity bikes in the country, ask me ill do 100 non stop on it (on a 150 though).. But yes many wont.. Then again nor do all other vehicles that are allowed maintin speed.. Though seriously wish that road was nearer to me, would love to blast down it..

  3. A few months of two-wheeler's co-existing with bigger vehicles, on a super fast highway will provide data if the decision to ban two-wheeler's from Pune-Mumbai & Baroda-Ahmadabad e-ways is correct or not.
    To make data more realistic, I just hope it also rains nicely. 🙂
