NCRTC to provide parking facility for commuters travelling through Delhi-Meerut Corridor of RRTS

NCRTC is set to offer extensive parking facilities for commuters of the Namo Bharat trains along the entire Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor. The newly developed parking spaces at RRTS stations will accommodate over 8,000 vehicles, ensuring a seamless and convenient travel experience for passengers.

It is estimated that with the implementation of the entire Delhi – Meerut corridor the share of public transport will increase from the current 37% to 63%. NCRTC is also working on providing various options of last mile connectivity to the commuters and an expression of interest for providing various types of feeder services on all 25 stations has recently been invited. 

The entire corridor’s parking facilities will likely accommodate more than 1,600 cars and over 6,500 two-wheelers.

A 34 km section of this corridor is already operational for the public with 8 RRTS stations where parking facilities have been provided to the commuters. Facility to park auto rickshaws is also available in these parking lots.

Special provisions have been made at the stations for pickup and drop off facilities. The stations have been designed in such a way that vehicles coming from the main road can easily pick up and drop passengers.

The Namo Bharat train services are connecting regional nodes across NCR with high speed. RRTS stations are strategically located at an average distance of 5 to 10 km. With an intent to promote use of public transport, NCRTC is taking various initiatives to provide best-in-class first/last mile connectivity.

This will not only significantly reduce the load of private vehicles on the Delhi-Meerut route, but also save road accidents and help in reducing air pollution.
