India’s first rapid rail unveiled, promises Delhi to Meerut in 55 minutes
Cushioned seats, overhead luggage racks, more standing space and a ‘premium’ section – these are some of the swanky features inside coaches that are to be part of India’s first rapid rail, unveiled by the National Capital Regional Transport Corporation (NCRTC) on Wednesday.
The Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) train will run on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor and cover a distance of 82 km in just 55 minutes. It will also be the first in the country to have a business or ‘premium’ coach on a regional corridor.
Discussing its modern and commuter-friendly features, NCRTC managing director Vinay Kumar said, “Since the inception of the RRTS project, commuter convenience has been our priority.
