All big crowded busy cities in the world have metros as main transportation like New york Istanbul,Rome,Japan,Singapore,Hong kong etc .
They are efficient quick sleek and user friendly .
The connecting of south and north Railway stations to the most important transport hub of Vytila with a promise of water metro is the best thing that could have happened to the city .
Now the planners need some imagination .
The KSRTC stand in Ekm should be dismantled and Vytilla be the main terminal as it can be connected to all parts by metro .
Cochin west Vypeen and many other parts can be connected by water metros .
Vytilla terminal needs to be a multistoreyed vast complex with metro.bus.boat .taxis.auto all in three floors
Multiparking in basement nearby
Malls entertainement hubs hotels markets corporate offices should be incorporated in this sprawling say 15 storey multi complex .
The KSRTC stand in city center should be turned into a huge park with refurbished stadium and a green lung for city .
All places with water acess like Ernakulam market ,marine drive ,Nettoor,Thevara,wellingdon island,fort cochin ,mattancherry ,edacochin ,kumbalangi should be part of fast water metro connectivity .
Last mile connectivity by E Autos ,Bicycles under apps ,and small shuttle vehicles are needed .
The Cochin Airport definitely needs to be connected by water and land metro but airport city fare can be bit more costlier as in many cities .
The unified metro cards should be made available everywhere and topping it should be easy by apps .
Senior citizens and handicapped should get concessions .
People using metros need etiquette training to alight by waiting on sides of doors for people getting down instead of pushing in like bulls .
All transport should be kept clean .
With some effort we can create a modern Cochin .
