The National Capital Region Transport Corporation Limited (NCRTC) has invited mobility players for providing various feeder modes at the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) stations.

NCRTC focuses on ensuring last-mile connectivity to the commuters using RRTS on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut metro corridor through this connectivity plan.

NCRTC told the media that after the deliberation, it had invited the mass providers of various modes of transportation. It will also take help from other agencies to push the plan into action.

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.
