New Delhi: The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor recorded its highest-ever daily ridership on Monday with nearly 1,25,500 commuters travelling on the corridor in a single day. On average, around 1 lakh commuters have been using the Namo Bharat trains every day.Officials said a major factor driving the growing popularity of Namo Bharat is the substantial reduction in travel time it offers.“Amid the heatwave conditions in Delhi-NCR, the fully air-conditioned Namo Bharat trains are providing commuters with a comfortable and safe travel experience. At a time of rising fuel prices, the system is emerging not only as an affordable mobility option but also encouraging a shift towards more efficient and environmentally sustainable public transport over private vehicles,” said an NCRTC official.Sarai Kale Khan, New Ashok Nagar, Anand Vihar in Delhi and Ghaziabad and Begumpul in Uttar Pradesh continue to remain among the busiest stations on the corridor. “Together, these stations account for more than 40% of the total ridership,” said the official.NCRTC recently introduced 18 additional Namo Bharat train trips during peak hours on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor.
