Excitement is mounting among commuters as the Delhi-Meerut Rapid Rail service gears up for its much-awaited inauguration.
The Central Government has granted safety approval for the operation of the rapid rail between Sahibabad and Duhai, bringing enhanced convenience for people residing in areas like Vaishali and Duhai in Ghaziabad.
The 17 km long section of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor will witness the commencement of rapid rail operations, boasting five stations in Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, and Duhai Depot.
Prime Minister Modi and UP CM Yogi Adityanath Likely to Inaugurate the Rapid Rail Service
Sources suggest that a formal agreement to launch the Rapid Rail service is imminent. The initial 17 km stretch from Sahibabad to Duhai in Ghaziabad will mark the beginning of this revolutionary transport option.
The grand inauguration is expected to witness the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has finalized the fare charges for this corridor, aiming to make the service competitive with other existing modes of transportation.
Affordable Fare Structure: Delhi-Meerut Rapid Rail Tickets to Cost Between Rs 170-200
Travelers planning to use the Delhi-Meerut Rapid Rail service can rejoice as the fare structure has been set to ensure affordability and convenience.
According to NCRTC, passengers will be charged an estimated amount ranging from Rs 170 to Rs 200 for traveling between Anand Vihar and Meerut Central stations.
This attractive pricing compares favorably to the chair car fare of Rs 485 on the New Delhi to Meerut route for the Vande Bharat Express.
With various existing transport options like expressways, AC bus services, and Shatabdi Express already available to reach Meerut, the NCRTC aims to make the RAPIDEX fare competitive, enticing more commuters to choose this efficient mode of travel.
Rapid and Convenient: Delhi-Meerut Commute Estimated to Take Only 43 Minutes
The Rapid Rail service is anticipated to significantly reduce travel time between Delhi and Meerut.
With an estimated journey duration of just 43 minutes, the regional train service promises rapid and hassle-free commuting for passengers.
Once the entire corridor becomes operational, trains are expected to run at a frequency of 5 to 10 minutes, further enhancing the convenience factor for daily commuters.
As the launch date draws near, anticipation grows for the commencement of the Delhi-Meerut Rapid Rail service, offering the public a speedy and comfortable transportation option for their daily commutes.
