Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) will launch two new travel cards for students on Monday.

The day pass proposed for students is priced at ₹50, using which they can avail unlimited travel in the metro for any distance. Monthly trip pass priced at ₹1,000 can be used to travel any distance with no restrictions in the number of trips for a month. Once the validity is over, the cards could be recharged at the ticket counters, said a KMRL release.

The cards are being launched following suggestions from students and members of the public. They can be purchased from ticket counters at metro stations by producing school/college photo identity cards from Monday.

Road restoration

Meanwhile, road restoration work near metro pillar number P-347 at Pathadippalam, where a misalignment of rails was reported following settlement of the pillar foundation, will be completed shortly, the release said.
