Connectivity needed between Metro Rail’s phase I and II stationsPremium

Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) is set to open the first section of its Phase II network, a 10 km stretch from Poonamallee to Porur, by the end of 2025. This section, however, lacks connectivity to the existing Phase I network, raising concerns about its usability. Experts and commuters alike emphasize...

the need for last-mile connectivity, like shuttle services, to connect the new section with Phase I stations and surrounding areas. This is crucial to attract riders and ensure the project's success. CMRL is exploring options to extend the line to Vadapalani, where it connects to Phase I, but the timeline for this extension is unclear. Concerns are raised about the lack of a comprehensive study to understand passenger flow and the potential for congestion in the area. While CMRL has plans to address last-mile connectivity and traffic concerns, some believe that opening the line to Porur is premature and would benefit commuters more if it were connected to the Phase I network first or focused on a more congested area like OMR.

Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) ka Phase II network ka pehla section, 10 km ka Poonamallee se Porur tak ka stretch, 2025 ke saal ke akhir tak khulne wala hai. Lekin yeh section, existing Phase I network se connect nahi hai, aur isse iske use karne ke baare mein sawal...

uth rahe hain. Experts aur commuters sabhi last-mile connectivity ki jarurat par zor de rahe hain, jaise shuttle services, jo naye section ko Phase I stations aur aas-paas ke areas se jod sake. Yeh ridership attract karne aur project ki success ensure karne ke liye bahut important hai. CMRL Vadapalani tak line ko extend karne ke options explore kar raha hai, jaha yeh Phase I se connect hota hai, lekin is extension ki timeline unclear hai. Passenger flow ko understand karne ke liye comprehensive study na karne aur area mein congestion ki sambhavna ke baare mein concerns uthaye ja rahe hain. CMRL ke paas last-mile connectivity aur traffic concerns ko address karne ke plans hain, lekin kuchh log yeh maan rahe hain ki Porur tak line kholna premature hai aur commuters ke liye behtar hoga agar yeh pehle Phase I network se connect ho ya phir OMR jaise zyada congested area par focus kare.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
