According to media reports, India’s first rapid rail will run from Sahibabad in Ghaziabad to Duhai Depot. This is about 17 kilometer long route. Track making work on this section has been completed. Along with this, the installation work of overhead equipment line has also been completed. The rapid rail running on this section will run at a speed of about 180 km per hour. However, it is not being inaugurated due to the code of conduct applicable for civic elections in Uttar Pradesh, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi will start it by showing the green flag as soon as the code of conduct is removed.

what is the specialty

The biggest thing is that medical facilities will also be provided to the passengers in the rapid rail. A stretcher has also been arranged in the last coach of the Rapid Rail. In addition, a separate coach has been arranged for patients being referred from Meerut to Delhi to provide transportation at a low cost. Like DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation), separate coaches have been arranged for women and separate seats have been prepared for physically challenged passengers. These seats can be folded when not in use.

what are the facilities

According to media reports, the facilities provided to passengers in Rapid Rail include Wi-Fi for internet access on mobile, mobile-USB charger, large windows, integrated AC system, automatic door control system, luggage storage, driver interaction system, dynamic Route map, CCTV and infotainment system etc. are included.

To top it all, one of the main objectives behind the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) corridor project is to decongest the National Capital Region. The rapid rail system will help prevent vehicular traffic hazards, air pollution and ensure balanced regional development.

How much will be the rent

According to an estimate of DPR, the fare in Rapid Rail will be around Rs 2 per km. Later the private agency will not have the right to increase the fare. Like Metro, the fare will be decided by the committee, which is formed under the chairmanship of the judge. There will be rapid line connectivity on seven lines of Delhi Metro. It will be connected to Munirka, INA and Aerocity stations.

RRTS stations are being built in such a way that passengers can take other means of transport without leaving the station. Four stations of the Delhi-Meerut route are being connected to all the nearby metro stations. In such a situation, passengers will be able to go to the nearest metro station without coming out of RRTS stations.

Apart from Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor, Delhi-Gurgaon-SNB-Alwar and Delhi-Panipat RRTS corridors will also be built. Some stations of these corridors will also be connected with metro stations. Four stations of Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor namely Sarai Kale Khan, New Ashok Nagar, Anand Vihar and Ghaziabad will be connected to the nearest Delhi Metro stations.

These 4 stations will be connected

Sarai Kale Khan RRTS station will be connected with Pink Line Metro Station and New Ashok Nagar RRTS Station will be connected with Blue Line of Delhi Metro. The RRTS station at Anand Vihar will be connected to both the Pink and Blue Metro lines. Ghaziabad Rapid Rail Station will be connected to the Red Line of Delhi Metro.

This will be beneficial

Passengers will be greatly benefited by the connection of RRTS stations and metro stations. Blue Metro will be available at New Ashok Nagar RRTS station only. With this it will be easy to reach Delhi and Noida. Blue and Pink lines will be available in Anand Vihar. With this, South Delhi and AIIMS can be reached easily. Passengers will also be able to catch the Blue Line from here. Passengers will also be benefited by connecting with the metro station near Sarai Kale Khan.

Rapid rail may run next month

Construction of 82 km long Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor is in full swing. In the first phase of this corridor, the rapid rail between Sahibabad and Duhai is expected to be operational by April, 2023. This project is expected to be completed in 2025. Similarly, the 198 km Delhi-Gurugram-SNB-Alwar corridor of the RTS will be constructed in three phases. Starting in the northwest direction from Delhi, the 103-km-long Delhi-Panipat RRTS corridor with 17 stations will connect the capital with cities like Murthal, Gannaur, Samalkha and Panipat in Haryana.
