The train will run at a slightly lower speed between the two stations in Modinagar due to their close proximity. Alongside the Namo Bharat train, the city of Meerut will have a metro service with stations located closer to each other, between 1 and 2 kilometers apart. Meerut will have 13 metro stations, of which 4 are shared with the Namo Bharat train: Meerut South, Shatabdi Nagar, Begampul, and Modipuram Depot. The rest will be exclusively for the metro. Although Namo Bharat services have not yet commenced in Meerut, many residents have already experienced the train by traveling to Ghaziabad.

Over 1 million passengers have already used the service, and can participate in the survey by visiting the NCRTC website or the RRTS Connect app to provide feedback on the service quality, shortcomings, and issues encountered.
