Meerut. Meerut, the land of revolution, is once again going to witness a historic moment. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will give a big gift to ‘Namo Bharat’ (RRTS) and ‘Meerut Metro’ during his 135-minute stay in Meerut on Sunday. This is not only a major achievement for Western Uttar Pradesh but also a unique example of transportation technology at the global level. This project being launched by the Prime Minister has many such features which make it different from other cities of the country.
For the first time in India, ‘NaMo Bharat’ (regional rapid transit system) and ‘Meerut Metro’ will operate on the same infrastructure and tracks. Meerut Metro will be one of the fastest metro services in the country, with a design speed of 135 km/hr and operational speed of up to 120 km/hr. The journey between Sahibabad and Meerut will now be completed in minutes, due to which the feeling of distance between Delhi-NCR and Meerut will be eliminated. NaMo Bharat and Metro stations have been equipped with world-class amenities such as Platform Screen Doors (PSDs), high-speed WiFi and smart ticketing.
