On Sunday, 13th March 2022, metro stations in Thiruvottiyur Theradi and Wimco Nagar were opened for the public use. The commuters were very happy and they welcomed these 2 newly opened metro stations in north Chennai. It is well known to us that Theradi is a busy market area in Tiruvottiyur and there is a big parking space in the Wimco Nagar metro station. It is noteworthy that many people enquired about the opening of the metro stations. Many travelled through metro trains yesterday even though it was Sunday. It was later pointed out by a staff belonging to the metro station that good footfall was expected on the weekends in the Theradi metro station that is present in the populated area.
One important issue at the Theradi metro station was small parking space available and this might reduce the footfall here. This was mentioned by a resident belonging to Jothi Nagar. According to a staff at Wimco Nagar metro station it was clear that fewer commuters used the metro train services. He added that commuters belonging to nearby places like Ernavoor, Kathivakkam and Ennore would soon be using metro train services. Bigger parking space would be superb for the commuters at Wimco Nagar metro station.
