Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) is introducing Light Trams in Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode, Kerala, as a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to conventional metro systems. Urban Mass Transit Company Limited (UMTC) will conduct feasibility studies for the proposed routes. The Light Tram, proven in Brisbane, Australia, can operate at road level, elevated,...

or underground. This system is financially appealing compared to traditional metros, which cost Rs 250 crore per kilometer. KMRL plans to extend the Light Tram to Kochi, focusing on areas unsuitable for conventional metro infrastructure. Swiss-based HESS Green Mobility has already submitted a feasibility report for a loop in Kochi. Further studies are planned for Mattancherry, Fort Kochi, and the elevated bypass at Edapally-Aroor. The Light Tram offers benefits like seamless ground-level boarding. While navigating Kochi's junctions might be challenging, advanced transport signalling systems will address this. However, some experts are concerned about the practicality of Light Trams on Kerala's narrow roads and potential higher operating costs. The Light Tram system promises to transform urban transportation in Kerala, offering a sustainable and cost-effective solution.

Tram road level, elevated, ya underground operate kar sakta hai. Yeh system financial perspective se traditional metros se kaafi aacha hai, jinki cost Rs 250 crore per kilometer hai. KMRL ka plan Kochi mein bhi Light Tram extend karne ka hai, jaha conventional metro infrastructure kaam nahi karta. Swiss-based HESS Green Mobility ne Kochi mein ek loop ke liye feasibility report submit kiya hai. Mattancherry, Fort Kochi, and Edapally-Aroor ke elevated bypass ke liye bhi studies plan kiye gaye hain. Light Tram ke faayde mein ground level se seamless boarding bhi hai. Kochi ke complex junctions navigate karna thoda mushkil ho sakta hai, lekin advanced transport signalling systems se yeh issue solve ho jaayega. Kuch experts ko Kerala ke narrow roads par Light Trams ka practical hona aur high operating costs ki chinta hai. Light Tram system Kerala mein urban transport ko transform karne ka waada karta hai, aur yeh sustainable aur cost-effective solution hai.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake.
