00:00 Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated to the nation the 17-kilometre stretch of India's
00:14 first regional rapid transit system, RTS, on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Mehrut corridor on
00:20 Friday, October 20.
00:23 This significant infrastructure project aims to enhance rapid transit connectivity in the
00:28 region, serving as the crucial step in modernising transportation and improving accessibility
00:34 for commuters in the Delhi National Capital Region.
00:38 The name of the rail service was changed from Rapidax to Namobharat just a day prior to
00:43 its launch.
00:45 The foundation stone for the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Mehrut corridor was led by Prime Minister Narendra
00:50 Modi on March 8, 2019.
00:53 According to a statement from the Prime Minister's office, "RTS or Regional Rapid Transit System
00:59 is a new rail-based, semi-high-speed, high-frequency commuter transit system.
01:04 With a design speed of 180 km/hr, RTS is a transformational regional development initiative
01:11 which is designed to provide high-speed trains for inter-city commuting every 15 minutes,
01:17 which can go up to a frequency of every 5 minutes as per requirement."
01:22 The RTS trains focus on enhancing passenger comfort, offering amenities such as overhead
01:28 storage, Wi-Fi, and charging ports at every seat.
01:32 Additionally, a premium-class car boasts generous seating, ample legroom, and coat hangers are
01:38 also available.
01:40 Passengers will also have access to on-board vending machines for added convenience.
01:46 The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Mehrut RTS is being developed at a cost of more than Rs 30,000 crore and
01:52 will connect Delhi to Mehrut in less than an hour of travel time going through the urban
01:57 centres of Ghaziabad, Muradhanagar and Modinagar.
02:02 The Congress on Thursday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the naming of
02:06 trains of the Regional Rapid Transit System or RTS as NAMO Bharat.
02:13 Reacting to it, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said in a post on Axe, "After
02:19 NAMO Stadium, now NAMO Trains.
02:21 There is simply no limit to its self-obsession."
02:26 The inauguration of India's first Regional Rapid Transit System, the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Mehrut
02:31 RTS, is a momentous milestone in the country's transportation infrastructure.
02:37 As this significant project becomes fully operational, it promises to bring convenience
02:42 and efficiency to the lives of countless commuters, ultimately contributing to the nation's progress
02:48 and development.
