RRTS project: Ghaziabad station to act as major interchange hub

The future routes of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) to Khurja and Hapur in western Uttar Pradesh will branch out from the main Ghaziabad station, which is being constructed as part of the 82-km-long Delhi-Meerut RRTS project, officials said on Monday.

The officials of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), implementing agency of the RRTS project, said on Monday that eight routes were proposed, with three being prioritised, when the RRTS project — which will have high-speed trains on dedicated tracks — was conceptualised in 2006.

“The design of the Ghaziabad RRTS station has been done in such a manner that it will pave the way for two future routes to Khurja and Hapur.
