Chennai Metro Rail
Chennai city has been growing rapidly and the traffic volumes on the roads have also been increasing enormously. Hence the need for a new rail based rapid transport system has been felt and towards this objective the Government of Tamil Nadu have decided to implement the Chennai Metro Rail Project.
This project aims at providing the people of Chennai with a fast, reliable, convenient, efficient, modern and economical mode of public transport, which is properly integrated with other forms of public and private transport including buses, sub-urban trains and MRTS.
The Metro Rail will have two corridors. The first corridor starts from Washermenpet, through Broadway, Central Station, Mount Road, Saidapet, Guindy and ends at Chennai Airport. The second Corridor-2 is from Chennai Central, along EVR Periyar Salai – Vepery, Kilpauk Medical College, Aminjikarai, Shenoy Nagar, Anna Nagar East, Anna Nagar 2nd Avenue, Tirumangalam, Koyambedu along Inner Ring Road,Vadapalani, Ashok Nagar, Alandur,St. Thomas Mount.
Chennai Mono Rail
Mono train is a rail-based transit system for the Indian city of Chennai. It is proposed in the Long-term Urban Transportation Scheme of Second Master Plan by CMDA. The state government has announced plans to introduce mono rail across City to reduce traffic congestion and to increase the share of public transport in the urban transport network.
Recently the State government has decided to drop one of the four monorail lines that were supposed to be built in the city.
The proposed monorail corridors are from Vandalur to Velachery, via Tambaram East, from Poonamallee to Guindy Kathipara via Porur and another is from Poonamallee to Vadapalani via Valasarawakkam. Metro rail or Mono rail, if is gives the public a fast and modern transport, than it is definitely a success project.
