How do Meerut Metro and Namo Bharat work together?
NCRTC treats them as one system. There is one portal, one app, one fare table and the same tickets. The two services share the tracks in Meerut. Namo Bharat trains stop only at the four shared stations in Meerut, so they are the quick way in from Delhi. Meerut Metro trains stop at the Meerut stations in between. The live train feed on 12 November 2026 showed Meerut Metro trains between Meerut South and Modipuram.
How do I change between the two?
Ride to a shared station and change there. The official infographic marks all four shared stations as places to change trains. If you come from Delhi and go to a Meerut Metro only station, our journey planner shows where to change. The fare is a single amount from the matrix. For example, Meerut South to Meerut Central is Rs 30, and Ghaziabad to Meerut Central is Rs 120.
What do the fares look like inside Meerut?
Standard fares in Meerut are low. Meerut South to Modipuram is Rs 60, and Partapur to Rithani, which is only a Meerut Metro trip, is Rs 20. There is no Premium coach on Meerut Metro. See the fare chart.
How busy is the system?
NCRTC's ridership page, read on 12 November 2026, shows 49,002,272 journeys in total since opening, an average of 108,049 journeys a day in October 2026, and a highest day of 168,666. These figures cover Namo Bharat and Meerut Metro together, because NCRTC reports one system.
What are the rules inside the station?
The same rules apply on both services. Pets and bicycles are not allowed, and children under 90 cm travel free with an adult. Reserved seats are kept for women, persons with disability and senior citizens. NCRTC lists luggage limits of 30 x 50 x 80 cm, but prints the weight as 25g, a typing error, so check the weight at the station. Read the full rules and facilities page.
What has NCRTC not made clear?
- Counts differ. Outlook Traveller says 12 stations over 21 km, and Metro Rail Today says 13 stations over 23 km, which counts the Modipuram Depot station. NCRTC's portal lists 12 in Meerut and no depot station for passengers.
- We found no separate Meerut Metro ticket system or fare table. All the portal fares are one table.
- A separate timetable for Meerut Metro is not published. The portal shows Modipuram to Meerut South at 6:06 AM first and 10:06 PM last. See timings and frequency.
