An official of CMRL (Chennai Metro Rail Limited) shared that a 4-wheeler parking facility is to be provided at the Chennai Metro Central Railway Station. It can accommodate about 100 cars at a time.
An excellent feature in this travel facility for the passengers are that the Central Metro has provided providing multimodal transit integration with the Central railway station, MMC Suburban station, Park Town station EMU and MRTS and bus stop. This provides an ideal link for the passengers move to their different respective designations.
Despite providing this great link facility, there was no parking facility for the commuters. An official remarked, “The work on the underground parking facilities outside MMC is over. It will be soon thrown open for the public use after completing some minor works”.
The CMRL also opened the entry and exit point near the Central railway station to provide easy access for the commuters to reach the Central Metro and also other intermodal transit systems on Monday, 25th November.
Now, commuters exiting the Central railway station can reach Park station on another side of the EVR Periyar Salai without crossing the arterial road.
As an additional important link, the project of constructing 2 more subways connecting Central Railway station and Evening Bazaar road with Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital is under progress
Traffic police have started preventing the jaywalkers from crossing the EVR Periyar Salai-Pallavan Road junction!
The police observed, “We are directing the pedestrians to make use of the pedestrian subway and Metro subway to reach their destination”.
