Watch: PM Modi flagging off India’s first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) ‘Namo Bharat’

Prime Minister has flagged off India’s first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) covering 17 kms between Sahibabad and Duhai.

The journey is part of the RRTS project covering the  Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor.

The state-of- the art RRTS project is in line with the government’s vision to transform regional connectivity in the country. The RRTS is a new rail-based, semi-high-speed, high-frequency commuter transit system. With a design speed of 180 Kmph, RRTS is a transformational, regional development initiative, which is designed to provide high-speed trains for intercity commuting every 15 minutes, which can go up to a frequency of every 5 minutes as per requirement.
