All of them will travel by bus to the district collectorate where the District Collector will inaugurate the programme. The programme is aimed at promoting public transport system. Similar programmes will be organised in other cities in the state also.
The increasing numbers of cars and private vehicles has been contributing to the traffic congestion in Kochi city.
