Kochi metro is one of the most thriving transit systems in Kerala, as it is a rapid transit mode that helps in fast and efficient movement of the public. Accessibility of Kochi metro still remains a challenge at some point, though it is a necessary factor to make the metro service more convenient and attractive to the public. Moreover, it is generally perceived that land-use examples and traffic designs are firmly connected through changes in availability. In this work, we survey a group of Kochi metro commuters to study their metro convenience preferences. This study mainly concentrates on three pertinent areas, which are accessibility analysis of Kochi metro, that takes into account both to-metro accessibility and from metro accessibility in order to assess and categorize the performance of the metrosystem, formulation of accessibility index with the data collected and development of mobile application for improving the ease of accessing metro for commuters. A switch from private to public modes of transportation has always been necessary due to expanding urbanization, population growth, and traffic. The study aims to improve the level of accessibility for commoners, to flourish the public transit systems connecting metro stations and regions around and also to reduce the economic woes in most practical ways. After the study, an application embracing relevant information on accessibility of metro stations including nearest public transit systems and their corresponding details will be developed.
