KOCHI: As part of its efforts to increase ridership on Kochi Metro, KMRL is planning to reduce ticket rates. At present, the minimum fare for travel in metro is Rs 10 while the fare is Rs 60 from Aluva to Petta. The decision to bring ticket charges down was taken after conducting a passenger survey to understand the improvements needed to be implemented by KMRL, demanded by the prospectives and existing metro passengers. The information provided by respondents was critically analysed by Kochi Metro officers.
According to a top KMRL official, the decision to slash the ticket rates would be finalised next week.
