Q: Guys Im new to kochi, and my work is at the Cochin airport in Nedumbassery. I wanted to know whether the upcoming metro project will have a line till Nedumbassery. Im hearing contradictory news about this, can someone please clear this for me, as I have to pick the place to rent a flat.
I also heard about the monorail. The proposed monorail will loop Kalamassery Kakkanad Infopark Palarivattom route and Athani to Cochin International Airport.
Did you guys hear about the monorail? Yeah, so the KMRL are planning on a monorail system to basically serve as a feeder line to bring in and take out passengers from the metro network.
The speed of the project is quite good, Its already going into phase 2. And yeah, even I have heard that in the second phase plans are to extend the line all the way to Angamaly, and it will be passing through Nedumbassery.
Hey its quite a possibility. The KMRL appointed Rail India Technical and Economic Services in July 2013 to study further expansion of this line. According to the report, its possible to extend this line even upto Nedumbassery airport in the second phase of the Kochi metro project.
Me too. There arent that many connectivity infrastructure between this locality and other major parts of Kochi, This metro will solve all those problems. I think the authorities are seriously considering this.
Ok so right now the project is still very much in its early construction phases, s onothing can be said clearly. But what I think is that there is a chance of it getting extended all the way till the Nedumbasssery.
