Why Chennai is Building This Massive Metro Network

Chennai Metro is India's 4th Largest Metro Network spanning 54 km and 42 stations. Presently, it has 2 operational lines but a massive expansion of 3 new routes of more than 100 km length is under progress. It's estimated to cost ₹63,000 Crore.

    As far as I know Chennai Metro Rail is the first project in the country that connected the airport, two importaint rail terminals (Chennai Central and Egmore) and the main bus terminus (CMBT) during phase 1 itself. There is also an approved extension of the blue line from airport to the upcoming second major bus terminus at Kilambakkam, 15 km away. When this extension is built, it will connect a third important rail terminus (Tambaram).

    Hi, really good video. But there's a small piece of information you missed while talking about the Chennai Suburban system. The Chennai Suburban Railway system also covers local services on the direct route between Arakkonam and Chengalpattu via the city of Kanchipuram to the South-West of the Greater Chennai metropolitan area. With this included, the Chennai suburban system is the only system in the country to actually operate circular trains that run in either directions from Chennai Beach to Chennai Beach via Tambaram-Chengalpattu-Kanchipuram-Tirumalpur-Arakkonam. This circular route is over the 200km and is the longest suburban commuter rail route in the country. Another fascinating thing is that with trains upto Sullurpeta (in Andhra Pradesh), Chennai Suburban network is the only one in the country to run local trains across two states in a single route.

The primary difference between suburban rail and a MEMU commuter rail is that suburban trains have dedicated tracks along most of its routes whereas a MEMU shares tracks with intercity trains (that’s why it’s called MEMU - mainline EMU). Bengaluru is building dedicated tracks first and only then it will be able to procure rolling stock and start the suburban services. It’s still a project that is at least 1-2 years away from starting.

Same goes for the Arakonnam - Chengalpattu branch line which completes the circular route. Tambaram - Chengalpattu is still single till date.

The MRTS line is *finally* about to complete the St. Thomas Mount route, also planned to be converted to metro cars. Also, two new metrolite lines are being planned: 1.

We have to upgrade the Suburban rail mainly tho the coaches are old but still well maintained (Old ICF coaches) . MRTS can be easily converted to a metro and better facilities be provdied coz it is connecting the entire posh southern madras region . Bus connectivity is anyway good so yes . The roads I feel are quite wide here so even cars go without much trouble but we have to plan for the future so yes.

    A few exciting updates that came recently on sun news - the orange line (line 4) will have a station at the beach at the light house and in order to prevent flooding during tsunami's they have sensor vased flood gates that will automatically close and seal the station from water. Moreover, the lighthouse station has three levels, of which the bottom one will be used as a concourse for beach viewers. And the speciality of the interchange at the Karambakkam area is that- one pillar will support 5 tracks, 2 on each side and one more on the next level on top, something that's new in metro lines. A lot of interesting features, can't wait ❤❤❤

    i live in chennai phase 1 metro is on inside main city coverage only. it didnt connect suburban areas. second thing is local suburban trains are very cheap, initial chennai metro runs at high tarrif gets poor patronage and so many high infrastructure like station size concourse level, platfrom screen doors, lifts, escalators are so much on less patronage stations leads high operating cost with less income. they delayed project and not well study on construction makes almost tripled construction cost. dpr submit says estimation of 9000 cr rupees. on starting stage it shoots up to 14000 cr rupees, on final finishing it goes upto 22000 cr rupees for only 55km lenght of network. in 2023 patronage pickup but not enough parking facility is big headache. on phase 2 metro it totally opposite. 3 and 6 car automated trains sets with third rail for power, so existing metro network is useless on route sharing on same track it leads separate station construction on alandur, and some other connectivity stations. tamilnadu govt also very poor on infrastructure development. chennai cmda build new cmbt bus terminus in kilambakkam area its almost finishing stage but no metro or local suburman network is there. from thiruvanmiyur to sholinganallur national highways and state highways are messed up with double Decker road bride with metro line. lastly they cancel it only build metro line. in future expansion of roads is zero possibility and bridge construction also not possible. another big headache is chennai population goes above 1.1 crore but in mtc have only 3500 buses, day by day ritered drivers increse leads increasing not operating buses parked on shed. currently 2500 mtc buses only running. this leads public use on their private vehicle makes big mess on every roads traffic. hope after finished of metro phase 2 mtc should increase bus capacity to reduce private vehicles on road otherwise chennai become another bangalore like snail dead slow traffic movement.

    Chennai metro phase 2 will use third rail? Did you even look at the DPR? Just that bit of misinformation alone negates your entire rant here. CMRL has been planning to run Phase 2 trains in Phase 1 tracks as well. That's why they are choosing blue colour for the new rolling stock as well. Your comment reeks of hate dude

    Why everybody is talking about connecting it parks? Chennai effectively connects all the major state owned hospitals through metro Central - RGGGH washermanpet - stanley Kilpauk - KMC hospital Govt. Estate - multispeciality hospital Thousand lights - Royapettah GH Being a medico, i found this to be an extreme advantage, since both healthcare workers and healthcare seekers could easily travel without inconvenience

    First 4 correct, but existing thousand lights station is quite far from Royapettah GH. Though upcoming Royapettah metro station is right opposite the hospital. And people talk about IT parks more because people go there daily, rather than hospitals, and IT workers are more than medicos.
