Meerut Metro: The National Capital Region Transport Corporation Limited (NCRTC) has announced that lakhs of passengers who commute everyday between Delhi and Meerut would no longer be required to purchase different tickets for the Meerut Metro and the Namo Bharat Rapid Rail.
DON'T MISS
NCRTC would soon be implementing a single-ticket system that would save time and troubles for daily commuters like employees working in Delhi NCR region and businessmen among many who visit the region for different reasons.
The new ticketing system would help passengers travel directly to Ghaziabad or Delhi without buying different tickets from any station between Meerut South and Modipuram. Passengers could purchase tickets from any of the 13 stations between Meerut South and Modipuram (with Meerut South, Shatabdi Nagar, Begumpul and Modipuram as the integrated stations) for travelling to Delhi or Ghaziabad (even Noida).
Meerut Metro-How To Avail The Single Ticket Scheme?
Passengers could now use the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) or buy a single ticket to avail this facility. Till now, passengers had to buy different tickets for the Meerut Metro and the Namo Bharat Rapid Rail. This resulted in countless minutes getting wasted on standing in ticket queues.
How Would It Benefit Daily Passengers?
Passengers would now don’t have to browse through countless QR/UPI payments or app-based bookings via Namo Bharat Connect or other systems. It would also allow seamless interchanges at shared stations such as Begumpul. This would help passengers get benefited from quick switches between the Meerut Metro and the Namo Bharat Rapid Rail without stairs or extra fares.
It would also cut down road congestion, boost efficiency for meetings across Delhi NCR and promote economic ties between the two cities.
It would also reduce travel times reuniting families more often, like weekend visits back home without overnight stays. Moreover, environment-friendly high-speed options with speeds up to 160 kilometres per hour would offer quick and affordable alternatives to buses and personal or private cars.
