Regular passengers can avail special offers from July 5 2018.
Currently passengers can register for any of the two pass. First one for 30 trips – valid for 30 days and second offer for 60 trips – valid for 60 days. The pass for 30 trips will be available at a discount of 25% and the pass for 60 trips will be available at a discount of 33% from the original fare.
The offer will be effective from 5 July after official launch by KMRL MD, Shri Mohammed Hanish at Edappally station.
Only one pass can be added to a Kochi1 Card at a time. The pass can be issued between any two stations chosen by passengers (say Station A & B) at the time of issuance and the trip will be deducted when the passenger travels from either of the stations up to the other station. Entry and exit from same station will also deduct one trip.
If entry is made from either station A or B and exit is made beyond the other station then stored value amount will be used. Similarly if entry is made at any other station than the Station A and B then stored value will be used. The penalties and other surcharge amount shall be deducted as per applicable rule for Kochi1 card.
The pass can be issued only on a valid Kochi1 Card with sufficient stored value. In case there is no sufficient balance under the Kochi1 Card for pass purchase, it needs to be topped up. The validity of the pass shall start from the day of issuance.

Good move KMRL.
Its declared that card will be valid for only 30 trips and 30 days.So if someone has to make trips to and fro daily( 2 trips daily)..total trips will expire in 15 days right?
Ebenezer says:
Trip means to and fro journey…. (One journey up and One journey down)
Ebenezer says:
30 journey up
30 journey down
Total 60 journey or 30 trips
Better understanding
Ebenezer says:
This Trip Card is not commuter friendly….. Earlier KMRL has promised discount rate at 40%….now that word skipped…. This is easy way to Eat Sunday money…… So actual discount will be very less…..no one will take this card….
Make it more attractive…
Please tell me who is the master brain behind…. IIM Bangalore or KMRL itself….. If no takers for this card…. Then responsible person should be sacked
Ebenezer says:
Let’s do some maths
Normally a commuter work only 25 days a month…..so KMRL will eat Sunday money with ease.
Take for example 60 days trip card from Aluva to Maharajas
Regular rate Rs 50
Kochi 1 discount rate at 20% it is Rs 40
For two months commuter takes 25 x 2 x 2 trips…..25 days 2 trips per day for 2 months
100 trips in 2 months at ₹ 40 is equal to ₹ 4000
Trip card at 33% discount for the same journey 60(33.33×2) = Rs 3999.60
😳Advantage is Rs 0.40 PS…….
If same for one month
Trip card with 25% discount…. it will come at ₹ 2250
Of course for 30 days
But regular passenger at 25 days the total will come only ₹ 2000.
So better stay away from this new KoMet gimmick
Those with better maths….plz help me….advice me….what is the advantage of this new Fare product from KoMet
Advantage or just ignore

ഈ ചെറിയ ഇളവുകൊണ്ടു ഒരു വലിയ ഒഴുക്ക് മെട്രോയിലേക്കു പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കണ്ട..
കൂടി വന്നാ എട്ടോ പത്തോ പേരെക്കൂടി എത്തിക്കാൻ പറ്റുമായിരിക്കും… അത്ര മാത്രം..
നിരക്കുകൾ ഭൂമിയിലേക്കു ഇറങ്ങാത്തിടത്തോളം കാലം മെട്രോ മുകളിലൂടെ കാലിയായി തന്നെ ഓടും..
കാരണം ആൾക്കാർക്ക് ഇവിടെ മറ്റു മാർഗ്ഗങ്ങൾ ആവശ്യത്തിനുണ്ട്..
പിന്നെ അത്യാവശ്യക്കാർ മാത്രം ആശ്രയിക്കും..
അല്ലെകിൽ ബസ് സർവീസുകൾ മെട്രോ റൂട്ടിൽ നിർത്തേണ്ടി വരും കൂടുതൽ ആളെ മെട്രോയിൽ കേറ്റാൻ..
