In the 2nd Phase of the Chennai Metro Rail Project, 3 corridors are planned - Madhavaram-Siruseri, Koyambedu Bus Terminus-Light House, and Madhavaram-Sholinganallur, covering a total distance of 107 km.
If you are traveling in the metro with a big baggage, things may not be so smooth for you, as the CMRL has set cap on luggage weight as 15 kg. It may affect both international flyers and those wanting to travel by train.
As a move to relieve passengers out of getting stranded in trains in the long hours of travel, a new technology is likely to be introduced by the Chennai Metro Rail with which they can control trains at remote location.
As the CMRL is likely to introduce driverless trains in Chennai in its phase 2 rail services, within not more than 10 years, commuters can enjoy the drivers view.
The detailed project report of second phase of the Chennai metro rail project is being studied by the Centre and Japan International Cooperation Agency.
