 On 28 August 2014, the State Government decided to use Metro system, like the one planned for Kochi dirung, instead of Monorail, in both Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode, mainly due to cost overruns.A Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system in Thiruvananthapuram has been proposed by INKEL ltd. A shift of 40% of the car and auto rickshaw travellers to the new system is expected.The PRT will function as a feeder mode of transport to supplement the metro.
