With Kochi Metro rolling out for the public in a few days, the authorities are desperately trying to prepare multi-tier parking lots in stations to make optimal use of space.<\/p>\n
With the commissioning of Kochi Metro, KMRL authorities expect a regular passenger clientele in a month or two of its launch and proper parking facilities must be present to cater the commuters.<\/p>\n
KMRL has expressed interest in involving private players in the venture. The company had offered help to commercial establishments and individuals who are willing to operate pay-and-park lots near metro stations.<\/p>\n
According to KMRL, 11 stations on the Aluva-Palarivattom stretch have a parking space for 350 cars and 650 two-wheelers. However, this is insufficient to meet the demand from the commuters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
