NCRTC launches Live Train Tracking and Real-Time Parking Status on RRTS Connect App

By eliminating uncertainties related to train schedules, the live train tracking feature enhances passenger confidence and convenience, ensuring they are always informed and ready for their next leg of the journey.

Real-Time Parking Status: Making Travel Smoother

In addition to live train tracking, NCRTC has also introduced the live parking status feature, marking a significant milestone in commuter convenience. This innovative tool provides real-time updates on parking availability at RRTS stations. Passengers can now view the current occupancy status of parking spaces at stations, allowing them to make informed decisions about where to park their vehicles before arriving.

This feature is particularly useful for daily commuters who rely on parking facilities at RRTS stations, such as those along the Delhi to Meerut RRTS corridor. With over 8,000 parking spaces planned across stations, this real-time visibility ensures that passengers can plan their travel without any parking-related delays, further enhancing the ease of commuting.

Enhanced App Functionality for a Comprehensive Commuting Experience

These two new features are part of an expanding array of services on the RRTS Connect app, which already offers essential tools for passengers. The app includes functionalities like:

• Ticket Booking: Easy booking for Namo Bharat train services.
• Station Navigation: Detailed station layouts and amenities to guide commuters through stations.
• Last-Mile Connectivity: Options for booking bikes, autos, and cabs through the Rapido app to complete their journey seamlessly.
• Feeder Bus Services: Provides bus timings and connections to RRTS stations, improving connectivity.
• Station Facilities: Information on station amenities, including drinking water, restrooms, lifts, escalators, and more.

Additionally, passengers can directly communicate with the station control room for assistance through the app’s phone or WhatsApp service, and use the Lost & Found feature to report and recover misplaced items.

Current and Future Developments of the RRTS Corridor

Currently, 42 km of the RRTS corridor is operational, serving nine stations, including Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, Duhai Depot, Murad Nagar, Modi Nagar South, Modi Nagar North, and Meerut South. Trial runs on the Delhi section, extending from New Ashok Nagar to Sahibabad, are progressing smoothly. Upon the completion of this section, the total operational length of the corridor will expand to 54 kilometers, with more key stations such as Anand Vihar and New Ashok Nagar connected to the network, further enhancing the transit options for the National Capital Region (NCR) residents.

With the introduction of live train tracking and parking status on the RRTS Connect app, NCRTC is setting a new standard for public transportation in India. These features are designed to offer passengers a convenient, efficient, and seamless travel experience, enhancing the overall commuting process. By combining real-time information with easy access to essential services, NCRTC is taking significant strides towards modernizing the country’s public transport infrastructure.

This initiative not only aims to improve the daily commute for thousands of passengers but also represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of India’s Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), offering unprecedented convenience and a future-focused commuting experience for all.
