What is Rapid rail Transit System?
The Rapid rail Transit System is a high speed rail network. Its speed can be between 160 to 180 kilometers. This
train has been started to make the Railways comfortable with new technologies. Only the first phase of Delhi
Ghaziabad meerut RRTS has been opened. National capital Region Transport Corporation has been formed to
run RRTS. Under this project, operations have been possible only from Sahibabad to Duhai. Whereas there is a
plan to run it from Sarai Kale Khan in delhi to Modipuram in Meerut. Work is underway to develop lines and
stations on the remaining stretches. National capital Region Transport Corporation will also play a key role in
building India's first Regional Rapid Transit System, which will be responsible for the construction and
maintenance of the Regional Rapid Transit System.
