New Delhi, India (Metro Rail Today): The High Speed Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) will act as a lifeline for people facing medical emergencies. It will cover the distance of 82km between Delhi and Meerut in 60 minutes.
while Metro trains are equipped to accommodate wheelchairs in their first and last coaches, which have the drivers cabin. The high speed trains that will run on RRTS corridors are being designed to accommodate not only wheelchairs but stretchers too. The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), which is executing the project, said that RRTS stations have also been designed to provide a seamless travel experience to passengers who are specially-abled, and when needed, to those who might be facing a medical emergency.
Right now it takes about three and a half hour to to four hours to travel by road from Begum Pul in Meerut to Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi. When the Delhi-Meerut RRTS becomes operational, passengers will be able to cover the same distance within an hour. This would not only mean a much faster and more comfortable commute for people living in NCR and travelling long distances for work for work or other purposes, but also for those who need to reach a hospital.
