Delhiites often visit Murthal’s famous food and drink spots. However, commuting on the route between the two places takes about an hour and a half, making it a tiring journey, combined with traffic. However, with the commissioning of the RRTS corridor between Delhi and Karna, the 70-km long route may be easier to cover. Operating at the begging of the rapid rail system enables commuters to complete the journey in a third of the time, in other words it will take about 30 minutes.
The travel time between Delhi and Karnal is 2.5 hours. Once the RRTS corridor is built, it will take only one hour. People will be able to go to Hisar in about one and a half hours. A metro train will run every ten minutes.
