Talk:RapidX

Infobox template
I believe Template:Infobox public transit should be used in this page instead of Template:Infobox rail service since it is a completely separate transit system. Dhruv edits (talk) 19:59, 1 June 2023 (UTC)


 * @Footy2000 RapidX is a completely separate public transit system (like Delhi Metro) and should use Template:Infobox public transit. On the other hand, other semi high speed rail like Vande Bharat Express use Template:Infobox rail service since they are a part of an existing transit system.

 * Although it is an independent service with its own right of way, it is not a service that's run in a single locale (urban area/region/state). There are RapidX services planned in states like Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Haryana is planning it's independent service, there's one plan by Uttar Pradesh government for cities of Lucknow and Kanpur. TPI:rail service is better suited in such cases because these articles host multiple systems and routes, while TPI:public transit is solely dedicated for an entire system, independent of others.

Name of the service: RapidX or Namo Bharat?
The name of the service initially envisioned as RapidX has been changed to Namo Bharat. In contrast, there seems to be some confusion regarding this in the media and on Wiki. Some suggest that the trainsets have been named Namo Bharat and not the service.

While on the ground, the name "RapidX" was covered and replaced with "Namo Bharat Train" on the inauguration plaque, unveiled by Prime Minister Modi on October 20. Some user has also created a separate page for the "Namo Bharat (trainset)". What is the status of the name of the service and should the page be renamed?

 * There is no confusion. RRTS is named Namo Bharat. Mifiin (talk) 02:44, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Official X account also states the same. https://twitter.com/officialncrtc Namo Bharat- rail-based high-speed regional transit service. Rapidx need to be renamed to Namo Bharat. Mifiin (talk) 06:42, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:COMMONNAME applies. All the sources call this system “Rapidx” not Namk Bharat
 * twitter is not a reliable source SKAG123 (talk) 15:52, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
