Infopark connectivity in Kochi set to get major boost

KOCHI: A major complaint raised by Infopark techies is inadequate public transportation facilities, which in turn, leads to issues like insufficient parking space at the IT park. Kochi Metro has speeded up construction of its phase 2 extension, the 11.2-km-long Pink Line from its Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium station to Infopark, and promises to meet the August 2026 deadline. Meanwhile, techies will get a major relief from congested roads and traffic blocks when KMRL introduces the e-feeder service, connecting the Kakkanad Water Metro terminal with Infopark in a week. The feeder buses will connect the airport, Medical College (Kalamassery-Medical College, Infopark-Kakkanad water metro terminal and other destinations that lack transportation,” a KMRL spokesperson said. “We’ll increase the frequency to 20 minutes in the Vyttila-Kakkanad section soon when the second pontoon at Vyttila terminal is built,” said another official in charge of the water metro, adding that efforts are also on to connect Infopark phase-2 in the near future.
