Transport Chennai
has a fairly large and extensive public transport
which is efficient but can get very crowded. The bus
services are run by the government-owned Metropolitan
Transport Corporation (MTC). The suburban railway
system has three arms via which the suburbs of Tambaram,
Avadi and Ennore are connected. The Mass Rapid Transit
System (MRTS) is still under construction. The major
suburban stations in the city are Chennai Central
and Chennai Beach stations. •
Chennai Central to Avadi (going further to Arakkonam)
Trains also run between Chennai Beach and Avadi/Ennore. MRTS (Mass Rapid Transit System) presently operates between Chennai Beach and Tiruvanmiyur. Private call taxis are available in Chennai but can be unreliable. Auto rickshaws are extremely popular in Chennai but they are famous for fleecing people. They are particularly greedy when it comes to outsiders or tourists in the city. As a tourist it is best avoiding these "autos", as they are called. Cars can be rented at a fixed price and are certainly more reliable and safer. Chennai
is well connected to all the major cities in the country
by the Indian Railways. Chennai Central and Chennai
Egmore are the two main railway stations. Chennai
Egmore is almost exclusively used for trains bound
to the southern parts of the state. The city is also
well served by the Chennai International Airport.
Recently the Central Mofussil Bus Terminus (CMBT)
was opened in Koyambedu in Chennai. This is the largest
bus terminus in South Asia and serves as the bus terminus
for all outstation buses to and from Chennai. Home
