Kuthambakkam Bus Terminus to Be Ready by March 2025
The Kuthambakkam bus terminus, near the Thirumazhisai satellite township, is on track for completion by March next year, according to the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA). The ₹427-crore project, spanning 25 acres, aims to ease traffic congestion at the Poonamallee terminus and further decongest the Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus (CMBT) in Koyambedu.
Key Features:
- Capacity: Over 200 buses with exclusive bays for State transport, omni buses, and MTC.
- Amenities: Air-conditioned waiting lounges, omni bus parking, food courts, ticket counters, and passenger dormitories.
- Parking: Basement parking for 1,700 two-wheelers and 250 cars.
About 80% of the work is complete, and the facility is expected to benefit commuters similar to the Kilambakkam bus terminus for south-bound passengers.
Residents and industrialists from Thirumazhisai and Irungattukottai have urged the government to extend the metro rail from Poonamallee to Thirumazhisai to address last-mile connectivity issues in the region.
