According to an article which was recently published by Jagran English, the initiative was launched by NCRTC the authority that manages the Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System or RRTS and Delhi Metro. The announcement was made on Monday, November 18, 2024, by the officials.
This particular initiative is being dubbed the “milestone initiative,” and it aims to make the experience of travelling on the metro smoother and more convenient. You can book tickets from the RRTS Connect App as well as the DMRC Momentum 2.0 app.
In addition to these apps, commuters can also book tickets for Namo Bharat from the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation or the IRCTC App. This is owing to a Memorandum of Understanding or MoU signed between NRCTC and IRCTC.
