Buoyed by Kochi Metro’s daily patronage touching 54,504 on December 11, the second time it crossed the 50,000 figure post-pandemic, KMRL has decided to increase the frequency of train services from Saturday.
Thus, the time gap between metro services will be 6.15 minutes, instead of 7 minutes during peak hours on Mondays and Saturdays. It will be 7.30 minutes instead of 8.15 minutes during non-peak hours. On Sundays, the time between two services would be 9 minutes instead of 10 minutes during both peak and non-peak hours.
With the change in train frequency, there will be 271 services/trips on Saturdays and Mondays. An additional train will be kept as standby, to cater to any surge in passenger demand, to ensure social distancing, the metro agency has informed.
