About Chennai Metro Map

Chennai has been witnessing massive industrial growth for quite some time now, which in turn is paving way for an enormous increase in traffic volumes on its roads. Thus, in order to provide travelers with a favorable alternative, the government came up with an idea to introduce rail-based rapid transit system in the city. The Tamil Nadu government has started implementing the Chennai Metro Rail Project. The project is well in sync with the other modes of public and private transit systems comprising suburban trains, MRTS and buses. For further convenience of the travelers, a clear map of Chennai metro system has also been designed.

As the metropolitan city is flourishing at faster rate and owing to this witnessing a tremendous increase in traffic, the government realizing the need of its people for a faster and reliable mode of transport started building metro rail projects. It is a better alternative to other modes of commutation as it offers commendable financial viability. It is environment-friendly and can easily be linked with other transport modes such as suburban rails, MRTS and buses.
