NEW DELHI: The high-speed Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor, which will cover the distance of 82km between Delhi and Meerut in 60 minutes, will act as a lifeline for people facing medical emergencies.
While Metro trains are equipped to accommodate wheelchairs in their first and last coaches, which have the driver’s cabin, the high-speed trains that will run on RRTS corridors are being designed to accommodate not only wheelchairs but stretchers too. The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), which is executing the project, said that RRTS stations have also been designed to provide a seamless travel experience to passengers who are specially-abled, and when needed, to those who might be facing a medical emergency.
