Ghaziabad: The NCR transport corporation (NCRTC) — the agency executing the 82km-long Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) project between Delhi, Ghaziabad and Meerut — has decided to deploy train attendants in all RRTS trains during operations. The NCRTC has proposed deployment of 30 trains, while 10 more will function as local metro module in Meerut.
The RRTS project is pegged at a cost of ₹30,274 crore and aims to link the three cities with the help of high-speed state-of-the-art RRTS trains. The trains have been recently named as RapidX. Nine of the RapidX trains have already reached Ghaziabad’s Duhai depot from the manufacturing plant in Gujarat’s Savli.
“Each RapidX train will have six coaches with a capacity to ferry about 1,500-1,600 passengers — 500 seated and remaining standing.
