The 17-km Duhai-Sahibabad priority stretch of the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) train corridor is expected to start operations by late March this year.

The RRTS corridor connecting Sahibabad and Duhai will have five stations — Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai and Duhai Depot.
“Initially, the train will have six coaches and will run at the speed of 162 km per hour, making it three times faster than the Delhi metro.
For the safety of commuters, each platform will have screen doors which will be equipped with an emergency button,”.
Of the six coaches, one will be a premium coach; one will be reserved for female commuters, with the remaining four being general coaches.
The premium coach will have a food and beverage vending machine, and every seat will have a USB and three-pin charging point.
The general coaches will have only USB charging points for every seat.
