Airport In 2017, Phase I will be completed from Aluva 25’ to Petta: 25 kms of metro. And Phase II to Kakkanad is due by 2022: 9 additional kms. Average speed is 34 km/h but it can reach up to 80 km/h !

The fleet of buses is of 1300 vehicles in 2017. They will be dispatched on high priority routes to complement the metro lines. Thanks to a smart junction management, their commercial Aluva speed will reach 30 km/h! Cherai Water Metro starts the service in 2017, with 9 boats. 78 boats are expected to make the job on the 16 regular lines. The commercial speed is 8 knots (15km/h). 22’

KMRL feeder system is provided around the metro stations: last mile connectivity! The Kochi Metro App will help you to get on board.

KMRL cycle is a bike share service available in the city. It started in 2017 with 6 stations and will soon expand throughout the city.

Pedestrian areas will take more and more space Muttom over cars in the coming years like in Hospital 14’ Road, Panampilly Nagar and why not MG Road. It’s better for your health, and for the planet.
