Contractors have been tied up soon by the Southern railway for providing the call taxi stand in the railway station.

Currently, there are many leather production units situated near Katpadi, and thus the senior officials decided to operate a call taxi stand at the Katpadi station.
The taxi stand at Velachery station extends for an area of 4,700 square feet and the other one at the Katpadi station wraps an area of about 2,000 square feet.
Even though the Southern Railway has accepted an auto rickshaw stand near the corner side of the Velachery station, commuters say they are in no way gained, as the drivers charge inflated fares.
Even with the presence of the police observance close to the station, auto drivers prolong to cheat travelers. We expect that this taxi stand might terminate this, says R. Chandra, a senior citizen.
