- The Chennai metro rail has been connecting different parts of the city for 7 years now.
On 29 June 2015, the first Chennai Metro Rail train chugged off from Koyambedu to Alandur. It was a 10 km stretch.
Today the trains have run for over 2 crore kms and have carried over 11.7 crore passengers.
The Phase 1 and Phase 1 extension of Chennai Metro rail stretches for 54 kms and stops at 42 stations over 2 corridors. It was established at a cost of ₹18370 crore.
By connecting all important transport hubs in the city, it compensates for its limited connectivity.
The Chennai Metro rail is now working on the Phase 2 routes.
The construction of pillars has begun and tunnels will be built soon in areas from Madhavaram to SIPCOT, Light House to Poonamallee Madhavaram to Shollinganallur
This phase is estimated to cost ₹61,843 crore and runs for 118.9 km.
From an average of 10,000 passengers a day, Chennai Metro Rail now serves over 1.7 lakh passengers on an average everyday.
The 90-metre train can hold up to 1,200 passengers.
The rail service’s punctuality is regarded as the most important reason for its success.
Officials say that since 2015, the punctuality of Chennai Metro Rail system has been recording over 98 percent.
In 2021-22, Chennai Metro rail recorded the highest punctuality rate of 99.88 percent.
By 2026, the CMRL aims to lay 3 additional corridors that expand the whole network to 173 kms. They hope to shift 25% of public passenger trips to the metro rail.
Passengers say while it's definitely convenient, the system still has quite a lot of shortcomings that need to be ironed out for ease of commuting.
Some of them include a full-fledged last mile connectivity system and a smooth integration with other modes of transport that would give passengers a truly world class experience as the Chennai metro rail continues to expand

No
No 1 metro system is in delhi
No 2 is Going to become Mumbai ( and if you compare Navi also then both Mumbai Navi Mumbai are no. 1 )
No 3 is Bengaluru
No 4 may be Chennai , Hyderabad and Kolkata
Lol. How old r u ? Pre teen or what ?
@@offred6013 did you visit Chennai ever ?
@@modernpronationalistharshg8647 i am not talking about metro here ...the best transportation system in India is Tamilnadu public bus transport
@@rohandas5643 good throughput and coverage but fleet is poor quality. Also we need more priority lanes for buses plus better walkability in Chennai. Pedestrians flyover is not sufficient.
It is the best connected metro.
Hyderabad metro is better
@@rajatsoreng8062 it is not by anymeans. Coz all the railways stations aren't connected. But in Chennai metro all the main railway stations, bus stations and airport is connected. Check yourself then do the comment.
@@karthika560 for me kacheguda Is the main station and a lot trains do depart from here. I am a regular traveler from this station and when there's a lot of traffic I would wish that a metro could have possibly there for averting the traffic
@@rajatsoreng8062 hyy otha loose kuthi
@@rajatsoreng8062 Lol here some random Hyderabad mental
Every stations in India should have a screendoor for underground station sections and over Bridge should have 8ft 5 inch steal and sealed doors. It is a must and Compulsory. For the entire Metro Company in all the Metropolitan cities of India and the Entire World.For all the colour lines(Green,Purple, Yellow, Blue,Red,Pink, Black etc.) It should be compulsory for everyone for the Metro Company group in every Metro stations. Why can't it be secured like a Flight,Bullet Train,or like a IAF sealed plane?Think Broad, Flexible and Practical.
After delhi chennai metro is well connected airport - bus terminal - railway station
The only problem i see with Chennai metro is overpriced fares, i believe those are too high for a public service
Yea, if prices were reduced then more people might use and will not affect the income
the prices are comparable to other metros. The problem is poor planning. The metro connects places already connected by suburban trains making them redundant. If they had taken up projects along OMR or Poonamalle then it would have succeeded big time.
@@steamerSama Do they even consult experts before selecting the routes? I'm seeing this problem in all metros. They don't connect the places which actually require mass transit.
Chennai metro is too costly compared to delhi metro
Yes bro i agree but Delhi metro has over 300km.. it makes it more cheaper
Yes during inguration it's costly but now it is almost same with bus cost. But u can get many more facilities at that cost in metro. And also if it extends to 170kms I would be cheaper
Now it cheaper bro.😊❤and we got more metro lines too
Was there last week visiting I know old Chennai Madras well .this was such a boon .good step.Thank you stalin his brain child I remember when he mooted the idea and JJ put a hold to it.No matter who rules moving on it should be maintained well like now and expanded more .
Yes it is the brain child of Chief Minister Muthuvel Karunanithi .Stalin..supported by his Eminent Politician,Ferocious reader and writer of tamil literature,and Dravidian Revolutionist. Dr.Muthamiz aringer Kalainger Karunanithi..
I love ❤my Chennai metro 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳😘🇮🇳
