Editing Kochi (section)

==== Road ====
The primary form of public transport within the city is largely dependent on privately owned bus networks. The state-run also operates its services in the city through the Thirukochi service. The major bus terminals in the city are Ernakulam Town, Ernakulam Jetty and the private bus terminal at Kaloor. An integrated transit terminal namely The [[Vyttila Mobility Hub, Kochi|Mobility Hub]] at [[Vytilla]] is under second phase of construction. The terminal acts as a hub for long-distance bus services away from the city centre, and also a converging point for different modes of public transport, namely bus, metro and ferry.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vyttilamobilityhub.com |title=Vyttila Mobility Hub |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110302091308/http://www.vyttilamobilityhub.com/ |archive-date=2 March 2011 |access-date=3 March 2018 }}</ref>

Kochi is one of the few cities to be granted the new-generation air-conditioned low-floor and non-air-conditioned semi-low-floor buses under the [[Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission|JNNURM]] city transport development project. KSRTC and private buses operate frequent schedules to neighbouring areas of [[Nedumbassery]], [[Perumbavoor]], [[Aluva]], [[Muvattupuzha]], [[Kothamangalam]], [[Cherthala]] and [[Poochakkal]]. Taxis and [[auto rickshaw]]s (called ''autos'') are available for hire throughout the day.

Development of road infrastructure not keeping pace with the increase in traffic is a major problem faced by Kochi, like most other parts of Kerala.<ref name="Traffic">{{cite web|publisher=Kochi Municipal Corporation |url=http://www.corporationofcochin.net/urban_kb/Traffic%20&%20Transportation.pdf |title=Kochi Municipal Corporation – Urban Knowledge Base |access-date=25 October 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110125004643/http://www.corporationofcochin.net/urban_kb/Traffic%20%26%20Transportation.pdf |archive-date=25 January 2011 }}</ref>
