Kochi Metro stations to get people-friendly makeover

The Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) is set to renovate metro stations across the city to make them more ‘people-friendly’ and thus attract more commuters.

Six stations — Aluva, Edappally, MG Road, Kadavanthra, Vyttila and Thykoodam — have been selected for the first phase of renovation. At these stations, measures will be taken to ensure proper signage for commuters along with other advancements in infrastructure.

At the stations, special spots have been designed for selfie lovers with “I Love Metro” signs in the background. Commuters now have the pleasure of enjoying music or other artistic performances at the stations. There are spots inside the metro stations designated for cultural performances and art exhibitions.
