The new 'water metro' will connect Kochi, in Kerala state, with ten nearby islands in the Arabian Sea.
Who says a metro has to be below ground? In Kochi, a city in southern India, it’s now easier to get around via waterways thanks to a new fleet of slick, brightly colored ferry boats. The “water metro” will connect Kochi, in Kerala state, with 10 nearby islands in the Arabian Sea. Guests can book tickets online and use a QR code. Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared at an April 25 ceremony to reveal the new watercraft.
I am sure this experiment being done in Kerala will become a model for other states of the country as well,” the prime minister added. Upgrading roads, railways, and metro systems has been a big initiative for the prime minister ahead of the G20, which India will host in September. As it becomes the most populous country in the world, India has made no secret of its tourism ambitions.
