Many vehicles have fallen into disuse
The project to operate e-autorickshaws as feeder services from Kochi Metro stations has been dampened since Kochi Metro Rail Limited and Ernakulam District Autorickshaw Drivers’ Cooperative Society are on two pages on the issue.
Making matters worse, the pandemic threw a spanner in the operation of a dozen e-autos, which were mostly stationed in metro stations along MG Road. Sources in the society said that many of them had fallen into disuse during the past few months since the pandemic affected their patronage and they remained berthed at metro stations, following which their batteries had run out of power.
