NEED FOR METRO

Has one of Indias important port

Centre for higher education
Biggest shipping yard
Population density is 6300 persons
per sq. Km
Population of Cochin has been
growing at a rate of 1.4% per annum.

ADVANTAGE OF METRO
Requires 1/5th energy per passenger
km compared to road-based system
Causes no air pollution in the city
Causes lesser noise level
Is more reliable, comfortable and
safer than road based system
Reduces journey time by 50 to 75%.

Route Length 25.360 Km
Number of Stations 23
The train frequency will be 5 min
headway with 3 - Car train in Alwaye
-Petta Corridor during peak hours and
15 min headway during lean hours.

DOCUMENTS AND
VARIANCE APPLIED
ON THE PROJECT

Firstly Alwaye to Tripunithura corridor was

to be constructed but after carrying out
the detailed engineering feasibility study
for this corridor, it was found that
construction of Petta to Tripunithura
section of this corridor is not feasible.
Accordingly, the ridership on truncated
corridor from Alwaye to Petta was worked
out which is marginally less from the
ridership of Alwaye to Tripunithura Corridor

In view of the above, the Metro Corridor is

recommended from Alwaye to Petta for a
length of 25.360 km.

CONCLUSION
Viability of metro projects depends
upon correct defining of traffic
corridors,
technology
adapted,
availability of land, volume of traffic
carried, capacity utilization and
acceptance
of
mode
by
the
commuters.
