According to a statement, this initiative will ensure fast, organised, green and affordable options of commutations and door to door connectivity. It will provide various opportunities for mobility providers at RRTS stations in Delhi, Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Murad Nagar, Modinagar, and Meerut.

NCRTC will adopt QR code-based ticketing services and card-based Europay, Mastercard, and Visa (EMV) open-loop contactless National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) standards. With this, RRTS commuters can use any NCMC card issued by any Metro or Transport Authority to travel in the RRTS.
