Would Delhi–Meerut RRTS Emerge As A Viable Alternative?
Also known as the Namo Bharat train, the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) has been designed as a high-speed regional transit system. One of the biggest advantages of RRTS is its cost efficiency.
Commuters using the RRTS don’t have to worry about fluctuating fuel prices, especially with the Middle East crisis causing panic buying and inflated fuel prices in the last few weeks. They also don’t have to worry about vehicle maintenance or parking fees. Moreover, they are not burdened by congestion and other unpredictability associated with road travel.
