It is with great pleasure that I introduce the first edition of the Rapid Metro newsletter Ride in Transit.

I am sure you would have witnessed the trial run flag off and unveiling of Rapid Metro train on 2nd October, 2012. We have been awarded a LOA by Haryana Government for Phase II, South Extension, which will extend from Sikanderpur to Sec 55-56.

This achievement by our team has made me look back on the following events.

We had embarked on this journey to build a world class metro system more than two years back and it is with great pride that I wish to announce that we are to commence operations in April, 2013. We have ensured and adhered to the highest standards of construction with customer safety and security being our primary objective.

Secure dedicated walkways are being built by Rapid Metro to ensure seamless access to our system. For the security of our commuters CCTVs, baggage scanning machines & metal detectors are being deployed across all stations. We have also ensured that all our stations provide ease of access to senior citizens.

By 2015, we propose to have a footprint of more than 12 km in Gurgaon and move forward towards our vision of becoming the leading developer & operator of rail systems worldwide.

It is my belief that each one of us as individuals can contribute to the environment by opting for public transport whenever possible. With the advent of Rapid Metro, I hope to see a reduction in cars on Gurgaon roads and a greener and congestion free Cyber City.

Ride in Transit has given me an opportunity to reach out and share the latest developments about our project. I would love to hear from you on your expectations from the system and I can be reached at [email protected].

With commercial operations launch round the corner these are exciting times at Rapid Metro and I look forward to welcoming you onboard.

Wishing all our readers a very Happy & Prosperous 2013!

Rapid Metro, Gurgaon Phase 1 Route Map

Training Our team of 32 station controllers and train operators are being trained by pioneers of the metro system in India - Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, in an intensive training programme spanning four months. First aid training is also being imparted to all the employees of Rapid Metro to ensure timely assistance in case of an emergency in the train or at the stations.

Happenings…Last mile connectivityRapid Metro is in discussion with HARyAnA ROADWAyS for plying feeder buses on routes connecting its stations to Udyog Vihar, Kapashera Border, Jwala Mill Road and IFFCO Chowk. Rapid Metro is also planning to connect Micromax Moulsari Avenue Station to Ambience Mall via an eco-friendly mode of transport.

Extension of networkRapid MetroRail Gurgaon Limited has signed a Concession Agreement with HUDA for Phase II, South Extension on 3rd January, 2013. As part of Phase III, north Extension expansion plan, Rapid Metro proposes to link Maruti factory in old Gurgaon to Cyber City, nH 8, Sector 55-56 and Golf Course Road.

With construction work almost complete, Rapid Metro is ready to commence commercial operations in April, 2013. As we move closer to commissioning of service we are also working towards:

Multiple savings

Don’t you agree that option B seems to be the wiser choice?

Cars need a 175m wide road

Buses use up a 35m wide road

Metro track uses only a 9m wide track bed

What do you think is the safest, most efficient and eco-friendly way to get your employees to work?

So think SMART, make Rapid Metro your preferred choice for getting around Cyber City...!!

In addition to benefits to the environment, Rapid Metro is a pocket friendly option which gives you more savings than other means of travel.

And a tentative cost comparison of a person travelling from Rohini to Cyber City, Gurgaon proves just that...

CITy SPEAKS“Cyber City has a huge women workforce and their security while commuting is of prime importance to all. We are awaiting the launch of commercial operations of Rapid Metro as this would provide our women employees a safe and secure travel option. not only that, traffic congestion on roads due to auto-rickshaws would also be substantially reduced leading to a clean and green city.”
