== Key features ==
* The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor is India’s first RRTS corridor to be implemented in India.
* Multi-Modal Integration: RRTS stations would be integrated with various modes of transport like Airport, Indian Railway Stations, Inter-State Bus Terminus, Delhi Metro Stations etc. It will facilitate seamless movement of commuters from one mode to another. Seamless integration between different modes of transport encourages people to use public transport.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Singh|first=Neha|date=2020-03-14|title=NCRTC to integrate Delhi-Meerut RRTS corridor with other modes of transport|url=https://www.metrorailnews.in/ncrtc-to-integrate-delhi-meerut-rrts-corridor-with-other-modes-of-transport/|access-date=2020-10-15|website=Metro Rail News|language=en-US}}</ref>
* Platform Screen Doors; All the RRTS stations will have platform screen doors for enhanced commuter safety.<ref>{{Cite web|date=August 11, 2019|title=All RRTS stations to have platform screen doors |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/all-rrts-stations-to-have-platform-screen-doors/articleshow/70627928.cms|access-date=2020-10-15|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref>
* Implementation of Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Corridor is expected to shift the modal share in favour of public transport from 37% to 63% in the region, which ultimately helps in curbing pollution.<ref>{{Cite web|date=January 22, 2019|first=Dipak K.|last=Dash|title=Delhi Meerut Rapid Rail News: RRTS may take 1 lakh vehicles off roads |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/rrts-may-take-1l-vehicles-off-roads/articleshow/67631602.cms|access-date=2020-10-15|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref>
* As per estimates, this corridor will significantly reduce pollutants namely PM 2.5 particle by 60,000 tonnes, Nitrogen oxide by 475,000 tonnes, Hydrocarbons by 80,000 tonnes and carbon monoxide by 80,000 tonnes yearly.
