What is Regional Rapid Transit System?
Description
Regional Rapid Transit System
Regional Rapid Transit System
(RRTS) is a new, dedicated, high speed, high capacity, comfortable commuter
service connecting regional nodes in NCR.
RRTS is different from metro as
it caters to passengers looking to travel relatively longer distance with fewer
stops and at higher speed.
RRTS will provide reliable, high
frequency, point to point regional travel at high speed along dedicated path way.
In line with PM Gati Shakti
National Master Plan, the RRTS network will have extensive
multimodal-integration with railway stations, metro stations, bus services etc.
Such transformative regional
mobility solutions will boost economic activity in the region; provide improved
access to employment, education & healthcare opportunities; and help in the
significant reduction of vehicular congestion & air pollution.
The benefits from the RRTS
corridors include quantifiable benefits such as fuel savings, travel time
savings, savings in capital expenditure on road vehicles.
Non-quantifiable benefits include
economic development in the region, transit-oriented urban planning, better
access to workplaces and other amenities, improved comfort to passengers,
reduction in pollution, reduction in road accidents, savings in vehicular
operating costs, facilitate easy access to jobs and services, reduce congestion
on roads, etc.
