भारत में रैपिड रेल ट्रांजिट सिस्टम (आरआरटीएस) के दूसरे खंड के चार स्टेशनों का निर्माण तेजी से हो रहा है। मुरादनगर स्टेशन का काम अंतिम चरण में पहुंच गया है और मार्च तक सभी स्टेशन तैयार हो जाएंगे। मुरादनगर स्टेशन पर चार लिफ्ट और छह एस्केलेटर लगाए जाएंगे ताकि यात्रियों को सुविधा मिल सके। मेरठ साउथ स्टेशन का निर्माण कार्य भी तेजी से हो रहा है और यह स्टेशन मोहिउद्दीनपुर, खरखौदा, कादराबाद समेत आसपास के इलाकों में रहने वाले लोगों को आवागमन में सुविधा प्रदान करेगा। मोदीनगर साउथ और नॉर्थ स्टेशनों का भी निर्माण कार्य पूरा हो गया है। इसी कॉरिडोर पर रेल डेडिकेटेड फ्रेट कॉरिडोर भी बनाया जा रहा है। यह एक महत्वपूर्ण पहल है जो देश के यातायात को बेहतर बनाने के लिए की जा रही है।
