Along with infrastructure development, the Chennai Corporation at the same stretch has planned to increase the number of buses from 3637 to 4400. At a recent meeting organized on Feb, 2014 by the Authority of Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority, this has been decided. As an improvement in infrastructure, the Chennai Corporation along with the support of traffic police has decided to increase the bus services in various places of the metro. The corporation got the help of traffic police by means of getting the information like which area is lacking in bus service and which locality people are requiring the service of buses. Depending on this information, the government decided to allot the bus services from so and so areas.
Along with the buses service, the government has also taken the projects of renovating the bus depots in Tiruvanmiyur and T.Nagar to offer better transport service. According to the latest study, Chennai city requires around 1500 buses but the government has planned to run1064 buses in total thus replacing some old unconditioned buses. In narrow roads, the government has provided with small buses as per the demand of residents. The operation of these mini buses can be seen more in AGS colony, EB colony, Vijayanagar etc. The government has provided with the service of big bus in ORR, so the residents can utilize the service effectively. No Amarprakash Royal Castle complaints can be spotted in the housing society.
Around 12 depots have to be developed in areas like Adambakkam, Mahakavi Bharathi Nagar, Padianallur, Besant Nagar etc as part of the betterment plan. Along with this, work on Kannagi Nagar and Perumbakkam will be carried out in order to provide resettlement for the slum people residing in various parts of the city. These areas are allowed to have new terminus since bus connectivity is the key for people to settle in any location. People in Kannagi Nagar and Perumbakkam will be utilizing the bus service to reach central areas of the metro. The bus depots in these localities will be developed within a short while. Beside this, the government is looking for land to acquire it for new depots in Thaiyur, Velachery and Gummidipoondi.
With the service of these buses, more than 50 lakh people living in Chennai will get benefitted greatly every day. In some areas, still poor maintenance prevails which made the local residents to give complaints regarding the problem asking the Chennai Corporation to take actions against it immediately. Within short duration of plan, many buses have been operated in many areas. So, the residents believe that these areas also will get better service at short pace.
