Kochi metro trains will operate up to 11.15 p.m. on all the days the Indian Super League (ISL) matches are there, except on December 31, for the convenience of thousands of football fans.
The trains will also be more frequent after 9 p.m., for which Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) will operate extra services. Currently, trains operate from 6 a.m. up to 10 p.m. The metro agency has suggested that commuters purchase return tickets during their onward journey to the stadium, so that they can avoid queuing up at counters and enjoy a free return ride till December 23.
With regular commuters who purchased pre-paid smart cards complaining their discount is limited to 20%, KMRL is learnt to have come up with a special discount offer for them as well for the said period.
