Chennai Corporation to Add 12 Buses for Students - Transport Expansion Plan
The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) is set to procure 12 additional buses to enhance and expand its dedicated student transport services across the city.
This initiative is aimed at providing safe, reliable, and affordable transportation for school students, while also addressing increasing traffic congestion near educational institutions during peak hours.
Officials said that the new buses will be integrated into the existing student transport network, enabling the Corporation to cover more routes and accommodate a larger number of students, particularly in densely populated areas of Chennai.
The expansion comes as part of the Corporation’s broader efforts to improve urban mobility and strengthen public transport infrastructure. By increasing the number of buses, authorities aim to reduce the dependency on private vehicles, thereby easing road congestion and improving overall traffic flow in the city.
The student transport service has already received a positive response from parents and schools, as it ensures structured travel, better safety, and convenience for children commuting daily.
With the addition of these 12 buses, the Greater Chennai Corporation is expected to further enhance accessibility and make daily travel more efficient for students across Chennai.
Overall, this move is seen as a significant step towards sustainable urban transport and student safety, aligning with the city’s long-term development and mobility goals.
