Connecting the NCR with public transport

Hindustan Times  

Call it the impact of the impending Delhi assembly elections, but the spree of public transit and infrastructure projects inaugurated in the past few days should serve the city and its hinterland well. If phase four of Delhi Metro will ease inner city commute, the Regional Rapid Transit System, described as a semi-high-speed rail, is a good first step towards facilitating smooth travel in the National Capital Region, especially on Delhi’s east, beyond Ghaziabad and Noida that are already serviced by the Delhi Metro. Since transit points within Delhi will be connected to the Delhi Metro, travelling to Delhi and commuting within it will hopefully become less stressful. One, it may help to decongest Delhi as people move to the well-connected suburbs; two, good public transport may prod people to reduce dependence on private vehicles.
