Hello
Once the service is activated, passengers will be able to pay the travel fare using debit or credit cards.
The two deceased are identified as Andhra Pradesh natives.
What started as nine specially designed boats conducting services along two routes has become a network of five routes with 14 boats today.
The ticket from High Court Junction to Fort Kochi is priced at Rs 40. Service will be conducted every 20 minutes.
Those who come from Thrissur and Malappuram sides could park their cars and busses at the parking lot near Aluva metro station and then take the train to the stadium.
The metro terminal is close to the Thripunithura railway station. Those who deboard at the first platform could walk to the metro station.
The new arrangement is expected to benefit those coming to the city to write the UPSC exams as well.
The station is decked up following a 'royal' theme, considering the historic importance of Tripunithura, which was the seat of the erstwhile Cochin royal family.
The work, featuring an abstract image of the metro rail in eye-catching shades of blue, green and yellow, was unveiled on Thursday.
The digital tickets can be booked by sending a message to KMRL's WhatsApp number 9188957488.
