traffic jam in kochi

kochi is a fortress bound by three bridges . no one can approach kochi thru any other route.
solution to the traffic vows of kochi has to start from these bridges. when i see the signal lights being installed on the south bridge i am surprised . how come someone in authority is seeing things in the right perspective. are we seeing some really effective steps to ease the traffic in the city.
may be . buses were recently diverted thru the canal road and the congestion did reduce . and the present move to allow traffic in both the lanes in one direction during rush hour may pay off.
if things are thus moving in the right direction shouldnt you and e join the moveent ? here is y suggestion

reinstall the manual gate system at railway junction. please dont laugh. i did not say close downthe bridge. i mean open up this additional passage. quite a few passengers going to and coming from the railway station can thus avoid the bridge.
not a small gain.

yes. we need to put up proper signals at the gate and at the mouth of the bridge. passengers should use this route only after ensuring that the line is clear. they should be signalled about this well in advance.

doesnt it involve additional cost ? negligible my lord if we compare the saving in cost of diesel alone. will the railways permit ? i dont see any vaild grounds for objection. we are only trying to use the railway line when it is idle .

purpose of this post is not to bring idea to the authorities. i know how difficult it is. if aam admi like you and me join and discuss i wouldbe happy.
