The highlight of this stall is the chance to be the First Rider of RRTS. The visitors have to just scan a QR code which will direct them to a form to fill out. From these, NCRTC will select 20 lucky visitors who will then get an opportunity to be the first rider when the RRTS will be operationalised in March 2023 in the Priority Section.

The Virtual Reality (VR) zone of the booth is also a point of attraction, through which the visitors can experience the feel of being at an actual RRTS station. The interactive touch screens placed at the stall showcase not only the various features of RRTS trains but also the social and economic impact this project will have on the entire National Capital Region.

NCRTC is gearing up for the trial runs in the next month on the 17 km-long Priority Section of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Corridor.

The exhibition booth gives insight into the transport revolution this project will bring to the region.
