Growing demand for Metro connectivity to Angamaly rail, bus stations

Kochi's new 8-km elevated metro corridor connecting Aluva to Angamaly via the airport features 14 stations. Local stakeholders argue the route misses Angamaly rail and bus stations, which have served as vital transit links for 38 years. Over 90% of surveyed residents favour routing the metro closer to NH 544 to serve these facilities and industrial hubs like TELK.

For 38 years, these services have provided a vital transit link between rural regions, suburban towns, and rail commuters.
