Chennai officials impressed by Kochi’s single-ticket system

Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (CUMTA) officials are highly impressed by the initiatives taken by Kochi to improve urban transportation. This was conveyed by the team from CUMTA, which concluded a two-day visit to Kochi this week.

The delegates were impressed with the concept of the ticket-integrated system introduced by Kochi Metro that can be used in different modes of transportation using a single ‘Kochi1 card’. The CUMTA team also discussed the steps taken by Kochi Metropolitan Transport Authority (KMTA) to improve public transport in the city.

“The Tamil Nadu government is keen on establishing the urban mode of transportation through CUMTA in Chennai. As a step towards it, we are visiting metro cities where the unified metropolitan transport authorities have been constituted. Under the peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing programme, we visited Kochi,” said CUMTA special officer I Jeyakumar.

Kerala principal secretary transport K R Jyothilal, Kochi Mayor M Anilkumar, KMTA managing director S Shanawas and other officials took part in the discussions. “One of the key takeaways for CUMTA from KMTA is the integrated ticketing system of Kochi Metro rail, private buses and water metro (which is yet to start services). Chennai has the largest suburban railway system in the country and we will try to integrate it with Chennai Metro and road transportation corporation for seamless mobility using a single card so that passengers can travel cashless in any mode of transportation,” said Jeyakumar.
