    PM Modi launches India's 1st water metro in Kerala that connects 10 islands | All you need to know

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a two-day Kerala visit, flagged off India's first water metro that connects 10 islands around Kochi through battery-operated electric hybrid boats for seamless connectivity with the city.
    This is a game-changing transport system because Kochi is surrounded by many islands and out of them 10 islands are very important and thickly populated," the Managing Director, of Kochi Metro Rail Limited, told ANI ahead of PM Modi's visit to Loknath Behera.
    A prime example of this approach is seen in the expansion of metro connectivity in the country.
    It consists of 38 terminals and 78 electric boats.
    The tickets for the boat trip start at Rs 20.
    He will today flag off the Vande Bharat Express train at Thiruvananthapuram Central railway station.
