Chennai Bus Routes Shift: Two New Temporary Hubs

The Broadway bus terminus in Chennai is scheduled for a significant redevelopment, prompting the Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) to implement temporary operational changes. Effective January 7, bus services will be rerouted to two alternative termini: the Royapuram Bus Terminus and Island Grounds. This strategic relocation aims to minimize disruption to commuters while construction progresses at the main terminus.

Bus routes that typically traverse Kamarajar Salai and Anna Salai will be managed from the Royapuram temporary bus terminus. This includes essential services such as routes 6, 13, 21G, 21L, 60E, 102, 109, and 109A, alongside other Anna Salai routes like 11, 21, 26, 52, and 54.

Simultaneously, services operating via Beach Station, Mannadi, EVR Salai, and Vepery will transition to the Island Grounds temporary terminus. Key routes like 1, 4, 15, 20, 33B, 35, 42, 56C, and 120 will be accommodated here. Passengers needing to board or alight buses heading to Royapuram from Anna Salai and EVR Salai will find designated stops at North Fort Road, near the Harbour MLA office.
