Namo Bharat RRTS sees over 1 lakh riders on first full day after launch, its highest-ever ridership

The newly launched Namo Bharat Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) achieved a remarkable milestone on its first full day of operations, recording over 100,000 riders. This surge in ridership comes just a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the complete 82-kilometer Delhi-Meerut corridor, which includes a crucial link to the Meerut Metro. The RRTS aims to enhance connectivity between Delhi and Meerut, significantly reducing travel time and promoting sustainable urban transport. With its state-of-the-art facilities and modern infrastructure, the system is expected to become a vital part of the region's transit network, catering to the growing commuter population. The high initial ridership reflects the enthusiasm of the public towards this new transit option, which promises to ease traffic congestion and provide a reliable mode of transport for daily commuters in the National Capital Region.
