need for metro railway in Cochin and Low floor Buses there.

It is a well known fact that some of the politicians and old minded people of India in past restricted the advent of computers to India. We also know the result and merits of computers today.The advent of metro rail in Cochin, Kerala, India repeats the history. Though there were many obstacles the Metro Kochi rail had to face it is now going to be the main attraction of Cochin. The Metro rail will make the city of Cochin faster and sophisticated.The advent of Metro rail in Cochin will make the Cochin business faster. And the faster business will bring us more profit faster. The over populated city people of Cochin can move faster from place to place to reach their work station and home. It will attract morebusiness openings to Cochin.

The Kochi Metro is a mass transit system for the South Indian city of Cochin to be launched very soon. By soon I mean 2011. It happens due to the poor politics and governance of the state Kerala. The metro rail will be operated by Kochi Metro Rail Corporation and there is a proposal to extend the metro rail Cochin to the international airport of Cochin, Nedumbassery. The Rs 3,048-crore Kochi Metro rail project will be change the face of the city of Cochin. But it is a sad thing that the Dubai metro rail which started much later than the Kochi metro rail launches in a very short duration before the project metro Cochin rail. The economic significance of Kochi has a lot to do with the advent of Metro rail Cochin. The backwater tourism and the traditional tourist spots will have a better time with the Metro rail. Metro in Cochin will touch all the major parts of the city of Cochin. Thus it will be helpful for all kinds of business and tourism. It will also be helpful to the daily passengers of Cochin. This project will help the commercial Cochin, industrial Cochin, economic Cochin, tourism Cochin, sports Cochin, entertainment Cochin, educational Cochin and business Cochin. Cochin thus joins the group of metro rail cities. It will thus reduce the road traffic jam in Cochin. With the launch of-the metro train in Cochin, the road traffic will be faster. The traffic jams will be removed in no time. Obviously the problem of long traffic jams will be out of question. It make the workers/students start late from home and reach in time to the work stations. The link to this article is http://yeskerala.com/index.php/2009/10/22/metro-rail-cochin.If metro railway is coming in Cochin then what is the need of Low-floor buses there.

A low-floor bus is a bus that has no steps between one or more entrances and part or all of the passenger cabin. Being low floor improves the accessibility of the bus for the public, particularly the elderly or infirm, or those with push chairs, and increasingly, those in wheelchairs. In the modern context, "low floor bus" refers to a bus that is accessible from a certain minimum height of step from ground level, to distinguish it from some historical bus designs that did feature a level interior floor throughout but with a relatively high floor height. A disadvantage of the low floor is accommodating the bus's own wheels. With the low floor, the wheels protrude into the passenger cabin, and need to be contained in wheel pockets of waist height, and this occupies space which would otherwise be used for seating. Seating layout for a low-floor bus therefore requires careful design. The use of Metro railway is to reduce traffic jams and make the journey of public very easy but when this Low floor buses are also scheduled there, then that will also bring another traffic jam which the people will find it difficult and both the metro and low floor buses will be running out of cost and lack of service. Both this metro and low floor bus are focusing on employers from IT Sector and from Porsche families and the rate charged in these are very high which cannot be charged from other people.
So my recommendation is that there should be metro railway in Cochin and more Low floor bus in Trivandrum.
