Chennai MTC operates free connecting buses to temporary Maraimalai Nagar bus terminus for Diwali
The Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) in Chennai is operating free connecting bus services to facilitate passengers travelling to their hometowns for the Diwali festival.
The special services connect three major locations — Guindy, Kalaignar Centenary Bus Terminus (KCBT) and the Metropolitan Transport Corporation bus station — with the temporary bus station at Maraimalai Nagar.
The initiative is aimed at making festival travel more convenient for passengers heading to their native places from Chennai, particularly those using the temporary bus terminal for onward journeys.
The free connecting services are expected to help passengers reach the temporary bus station without having to arrange separate transport, easing last-mile connectivity during the festive travel rush.
The MTC initiative is part of the transport arrangements being made to manage the increased passenger movement ahead of Diwali.
