Kochi Metro route at a glance
The operational Kochi Metro route runs continuously from Aluva to Thrippunithura through 25 stations. KMRL operates the system and provides an integrated public transport map to help you orient yourself beyond the metro line.
From Aluva, the route passes Pulinchodu, Companypady, Ambattukavu, Muttom and Kalamassery before reaching Cochin University and continuing to Edapally. It then serves Changampuzha Park, Palarivattom and JLN Stadium, followed by Kaloor, Town Hall, M.G. Road and Maharaja’s College.
Further south and east, the line calls at Ernakulam South, Kadavanthra, Elamkulam and Vyttila, then continues through Thaikoodam, Petta, Vadakkekotta and SN Junction to Thrippunithura. The station-list page presents this as one continuous route, rather than identifying an interchange between separate metro rail lines.
The line developed in phases: Aluva to Petta, Petta to SN Junction, and SN Junction to Thrippunithura. The integrated public transport map is useful when you’re planning beyond the metro itself.
Which Kochi Metro stations are useful for visitors?
Edapally, M.G. Road, Vyttila and Tripunithura Terminal are among the named stops on the operational route, while Changampuzha Park is another station on the line. Choose your stop based on the part of Kochi you need to reach, then check the onward leg separately.
Aluva is the western endpoint and a useful reference if you’re connecting with the airport feeder bus. At the other end, the metro route finishes at Thrippunithura; the extension runs from SN Junction to Thrippunithura.
Changampuzha Park and JLN Stadium are both stations on the route, as are Cochin University and Vyttila. If you’re comparing metro travel with buses or ferries for a wider journey, the Kochi public transport guide covers those modes alongside the metro.
How do you connect from the metro to ferries and other transport?
KMRL says feeder buses, taxis and auto-rickshaws operate at some metro stations, with services preferably electric or CNG. The operator does not identify which stations currently have each service, so check the current details for your intended stop.
One named feeder connection is the Pavan-Doot airport bus between Aluva Metro Station and Cochin International Airport. KMRL publishes a separate feeder-service timetable page; look there for current service details before planning around a connection.
KMRL also provides an integrated public transport map, which can help you consider the metro alongside other transport. The map information here does not establish a specific metro-to-ferry connection, so check the relevant operator’s details if your journey includes a ferry.
Reaching a station from the hotel
InfoPark I Station is about 42 minutes on foot from Park Connect, or about 30 minutes by car. Allow for the station approach as part of your plan, and confirm your route and transport arrangements before leaving.
If you’re travelling by metro after arriving at Cochin International Airport, the Pavan-Doot feeder bus connects the airport with Aluva Metro Station. The Cochin International Airport journey covers the trip to the hotel.
Fares, operating hours and service updates
Fares and service details can change, so check the official site before you go. Kochi Metro Rail Limited is the operator; its site provides station information, an integrated public transport map and a feeder-service timetable page.
For broader trip planning, use the route map to identify your metro stop, then check current operating and feeder-service details with KMRL. If your plans also include Fort Kochi, the one-day Fort Kochi route sets out a separate itinerary.
