more-inCommuters on Kochi metro will be able to make a two-way trip at the half the ticket fare from November 15 to December 23. The promotional 50% discount offer is aimed at improving ridership and to attract more passengers to the system of mass rapid transport. With this, regular commuters will get fare discounts (which KMRL has said will be up to a total of 40%). The 50% limited period promotional offer till December 23 has been announced since the finalising of discounted fares is taking time. Responding to a passenger feedback survey conducted by a management consultant firm in August, Kochi metro commuters had suggested lowering of the fares, introduction of season tickets and students’ concession to enhance passenger patronage.
