Union Minister for Power, Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal said on Monday (December 23) that the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) is the best option for the people of Kerala to travel from one place to another.
RRTS is the best mode for commuters in Kerala to move from one place to another as metro is not feasible in the state considering the length of tracks, he told mediapersons after traveling in the Kochi Water Metro. He said that if the state government submits a proposal, the Center will consider the RRTS proposal.
The minister praised the Kochi Water Metro and described it as a people-friendly transport system that provides a comfortable ride. About 3.5 million passengers have used this service since its inception. We will look at the possibility of starting water metro services at other locations across the country, he said.
