Buses plying to Andhra Pradesh and further north have now been moved to the newly opened satellite bus terminus at Madhavaram. Construction of the 8-acres terminus, whose capacity is 90 buses, cost Rs. 95 crore to the exchequer.
CM Edappadi Palaniswami declared the terminus open through video-conferencing, While the move would save 90 minutes of commute to residents of North Chennai, 37 MTC buses will ply from Madhavaram to other parts of Chennai to facilitate smoother connectivity within the city. About 100 buses have already started operating from Madhavaram and 377 more are expected to be shifted out of CMBT.
