A Kochi Private City Bus at High Court in the Evening

A private city bus waits at the Ernakulam High Court bus stop adjacent to the Water Metro station on a pleasant evening. The bus named “Namah Shivaya” runs a service from either Fort Kochi/Mattanchery or Willingdon Island to Ponekkara via Elamakkara. These places lie near Edappally and Amritha Hospital. Private city buses used to be the lifeline of Ernakulam once upon a time but have now been decimated as people prefer to use private transportation.
