NCRTC Launches Shuttle between Ghaziabad RRTS and Shaheed Sthal Metro

28 Jan 2025 CW Team

The NCRTC has launched a shuttle service connecting the Ghaziabad RRTS station with Shaheed Sthal metro station to enhance commuter convenience. This initiative is part of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation's on-going efforts to improve last-mile connectivity options for passengers.

The two stations are approximately 300 meters apart, and e-rickshaws will shuttle between them during peak hours to efficiently transport commuters.

The service is being offered free of charge to the public, ensuring a comfortable, safe, and hassle-free transfer between the two transportation hubs. The initiative also promotes sustainability by encouraging eco-friendly transport options. The fleet serving this route will be expanded in the future based on demand.

The Ghaziabad Namo Bharat Station is located at the intersection of key roads along the Ghaziabad-Meerut route, particularly at the Meerut Tiraha Mor, an area with heavy foot traffic as thousands of Ghaziabad residents pass through for work and other daily activities.

To address the rising traffic and prioritise passenger safety and convenience, NCRTC initiated this project. In the future, Shaheed Sthal Metro Station will be connected to the Namo Bharat Station via a foot-over bridge to ensure safer and easier access. While the construction of the bridge is underway, the shuttle service will continue to operate to maintain uninterrupted service.

Electric buses operated by Ghaziabad City Transport Services Limited already provide last-mile connectivity at all Namo Bharat stations within Ghaziabad. These buses serve seven different routes, including Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, DPS Rajnagar Guldhar, Duhai, Murad Nagar, Modi Nagar South, and Modi Nagar North stations. Taxi services from mobility partners are also available for passengers, some offering discounts for Namo Bharat Train commuters. News source: ET Infra
