Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) has decided to bring down the fares after 77% of the people who participated in a survey conducted by the metro agency felt that the fares should be brought down to attract more commuters. The fares are being reduced to attract more people, said KMRL managing director Loknath Behera at a press conference here on Wednesday.
KMRL has not decided on the rates or the time when the new fares will come into effect.
