The branch from Duhai to Duhai Depot is a branch from the main corridor.

Namo Bharat, India's first semi-high-speed regional train service, has cutting-edge innovations and several customer amenities.

Here is a detailed summary of the Rapid Rail timetable, fares, security system, and other details:

1. What are the Namo Bharat Rapid Rail schedules?

Passenger services are planned to begin on October 21, with hours of operation ranging from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Trains will operate every 15 minutes at first, with the possibility of increasing frequency in the future.

2. What is the Rapid Rail fare?

A one-way ticket from Sahibabad station to Duhai Depot station in the priority section costs Rs 50, whereas the same route in a premium-class coach costs Rs 100.

It will cost Rs 20 if a customer enters and exits the same station, such as Sahibabad. Children under the age of 90 cm will be able to travel for free.

3. How do I purchase Rapid Rail tickets?

Commuters can purchase paper QR code-based tickets at RAPIDX stations via ticket vending machines (TVM) or ticket counters.

Paper QR code-based ticket purchases and National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) top-ups are made possible by ticket vending machines that support the Unified Payments Interface (UPI).

Bank notes, bank cards, National Common Mobility Cards, and UPI are all acceptable forms of payment.

4. What is the maximum speed of a rapid train?

Trains on the priority segment will reach speeds of up to 130–140 km per hour. Inside the coaches, screens provide speed and station information.

While trains can reach speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour, the operational speed will be lower. This line's travel between Sahibabad and Duhai Depot stations takes about 12 minutes.

5. Rapid Rail Security:

Stations along the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Corridor's priority segment are outfitted with artificial intelligence-powered baggage screening systems that detect restricted or prohibited items.

For station safety, the Uttar Pradesh Police have dispatched a quick response team, a bomb detection and disposal unit, and a dog squad.

CCTV cameras continuously monitor RAPIDX stations at both the station and central security control levels, delivering alarms for unauthorized access, unclaimed luggage, and congestion.

6. How many premium or reserved carriages will be available in Rapid Rail?

Each RAPIDX train has six coaches, one of which is a luxury carriage. A female-only carriage is located adjacent to the luxury coach.

Premium coaches have unique features such as differently colored seats, prospective vending machine installations, reclining seats, coat hooks, magazine holders, and footrests. Every train's first and last coaches are premium coaches, accessible via a premium lounge on the platform.

In addition, there are allocated seats in other coaches for women, people with disabilities, and senior persons.

7. When will the Delhi-Meerut Rapid Rail Link be completed?

The complete 82.15-kilometer Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS is scheduled to open in June 2025.

8. How will the Rapid Trains gates work?

Passengers can board and depart trains at stations by pressing a button on the train doors when it comes to a complete stop.

RRTS trains, unlike metro trains, have push-button activation for doors that only work once the train has stopped at a station. Initially, doors will be operated automatically, with train attendants and ground workers aiding passengers until they become acquainted with the system.

9. Other rapid rail features

Other rapid rail features include overhead luggage racks, Wi-Fi, and mobile and laptop charging ports at every seat.

Once fully operational, the RRTS corridor will cut the travel time between Delhi and Meerut from three to four hours to roughly 55 minutes.

10. Lost & Found Center:

To speed the retrieval of forgotten belongings, a special 'Lost and Found' center is constructed at the Ghaziabad Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) station.

Passengers who have misplaced their belongings on the station grounds or RAPIDX trains can seek assistance from station personnel. Call the RAPIDX Customer Service Centre at 08069651515 for information and assistance with lost and found items.
