The Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), India's first high-speed regional rail corridor, reduces travel time between Delhi and Meerut to under an hour at speeds over 150 km/h. This improved connectivity has encouraged professionals and students to reside in Meerut while commuting to Delhi, influencing migration and housing trends.

Premium services and facilities are available, enhancing the travel experience.
