Q: I wanted to get more information on this latest railway budget and what it has going on for Kochi. I was planning on investing in the city. So I need this information to make the final decision.
Most of us now have to travel in those stuffy general compartments of long distance trains, which is just too bad. Also, they have cut down on the station security big-time. As it is, its not safe for ladies, now the situation will be even worse I’m afraid.
There was also the failed Sabari rail project. I was actually hoping that the new rail budget would be able to revive that project. It would totally help better connectivity within and outside the state, you know. But now I feel that its a distant dream.
This is because they had decided to upgrade the pre-existing trains to superfast ones, which frankly in my opinion is quite pointless. It will obviously lead to a fare hike, which is not good for common people like us.
No no, don’t say that. I’m sure Kochi will see a lot of developments in the coming future. The railway budget was a big disappointment though. Also there has been a pretty recent fare hike, and that is definitely not good news for us daily commuters who take the existing trains to work.
I dont know why this happened. Its not a secret that the two railway stations in Kochi are in dire need of improvement and more short distance trains. But nothing was allotted to us in the railway budget :(
yeah I know, there aren’t that many good prospects in the future about the real estate in this city. The latest railway budget by the new government has actually been a big disappointment for Kerala, and even more so for Kochi.
Yaar I don’t think Kochi market is that good for investment purposes right now. I mean the prices might be low and all, so you will probably be tempted to invest in the market, but still its not a good time for that
