Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) has mooted a dedicated interactive app having multiple features to woo commuters to the Kochi metro and help them with a host of other functions.
The move comes in the wake of KMRL’s efforts to increase the daily footfall to one lakh. The footfall post-pandemic had touched a maximum of 64,000 during the fag end of December 2021, despite the announcement of discounts and metro stations playing host to a slew of entertainment events. The average footfall even during the pre-pandemic period was around 72,000.
Moreover, the existing app named Kochi-1, developed by Axis Bank for the metro agency, has been drawing much criticism, with most commuters giving it a low rating. This was cited as among the reasons for the metro not getting the expected patronage, since its commissioning in 2017.
