Kochi gets relief as the metro resumes from Thursday of this week. 

On the Covid pandemic, the Kochi Metro was at a halt un till further update. But now it is decided that the Metro will resume from Thursday that is, 2 July. After 53 days the metro is to restart. 

The Metro had suspended operations after the State government announced a State-wide lockdown to contain the second wave of the pandemic.

However, the services will be initially restricted between 8 a.m and 8 p.m. with a headway of 10 minutes during peak hours and 15 minutes during non-peak hours. The frequency of services will be either increased or decreased in a phased manner as the situation demands.

“We had been receiving regular inquiries regarding the resumption of services. Disruption of metro services during the lockdown had an unprecedented impact on the daily lives of its commuters. Resumption of services will bring big relief to them,” said a spokesperson of Kochi Metro.

With this decision, all the covid protocols will be followed with sanitization.  Thermal scanners will be placed at all station entries to check body temperature of passengers. In major stations, thermal cameras will also be erected.

Stations will feature markings at ticket counters and platforms while inside trains seating will be allowed on alternate seats alone to ensure social distancing. Adherence to social distancing will be enforced with the help of CCTVs.
