AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE ELEVATED METRO RAIL SUBURBAN     RAIL WAY SYSTEM (MEMU SERVICES) IS ALSO SUGGESTED

The present ERG station can made be Suburban terminal. An inner suburban rail system utilizing the existing railway line to Shournore and Kottayam starting from Aluva passing through Keezhmadu, Edathala ,Kazikkambalam, Kakkanadu, Tripunithura and Maradu can be developed in the first phase.

Similarly an outer suburban railway system connecting the existing railway line starting from Angamaly. Passing through airport and the growth centers like Kalady ,Koovapady ,Perumbavoor, Rayamangalam, Payipra,Maradu,  Moovattupuzha, Koothattukulam, South Piravam and connecting the existing Kottayam railway line at Velloor. This can be taken up in the second phase by utilizing Sabari railway line.
