KEY POINTS:

It consists of trainsets providing regional transit services on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut line as well as local transit services in Meerut. In the present year, the NCRTC will start the trial runs on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor’s Priority Section.
The RRTS is a first-of-its-kind system in which trains running at 180 kmph will run every 5–10 minutes and cover the distance between Delhi and Meerut in 55 minutes with 14 stops.
The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor is expected to minimise carbon dioxide emissions by 2,50,000 tonnes per year. RRTS will be the most energy-efficient futuristic transit system, ushering in a new era of flawlessly connected megaregions and setting a new standard for future projects.
The entire 82-kilometre Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS route, which will have 25 stations in total, is now under construction, with two depots at Duhai and Modipuram and one stabling yard at Jungpura.
