Bus terminus near Velachery station
Work is in
progress to develop a bus terminus near the Velachery MRTS station.
Southern Railway has initiated bus terminus development project for the Metropolitan Transport Corporation in a space adjacent to the Velachery Mass Rapid Transit System station.
The Rs. 8
Crore project, which began 4 months back, over 10.87-acre is expected to be opened
for public used by January; 2011.The flooring of the terminus would be a
combination of concrete and black-topping. Storm water drain would be provided
along the perimeter of the terminus to prevent water stagnation.
The existing bus terminus from the congested Vijay Nagar junction is likely to be shifted to the new location. A total of 522 services were being operated with 87 buses from the Vijay Nagar bus terminus. Similarly twice that number of services passes through the terminus.
