How is route rationalisation done in Chennai?
On paper, MTC has been regularly rationalising routes every month and reviewing the performance after every six months. The second phase of Chennai Outer Ring road that connects Nemilicheri and Minjur was inaugurated recently. In view of the needs of people who travel from that part of the city, the MTC

was inaugurated recently. In view of the needs of people who travel from that part of the city, the MTC
introduced two new buses via Vandalur – Minjur Outer Ring Road 206 cut (Poonamallee-Tambaram)
and 203 (Poonamallee-Walajabad). Before launching any new route, we identify the stops and launch buses on atrial and error method. If there is demand, we formally launch the route. There was atrial exercise done along the ORR stretch an MTC employee added.
A press release from the transport agency stated that route number 206 cut starts from Poonamalle,
and reaches Tambaram after passing through the Outer Ring Road, Mannivakkam joint road and
Perungalathur. Four buses have been introduced and services will be available every 35 minutes.
Similarly, route bus 203 which starts at Poonamallee will reach Walajabad via Outer Ring Road,
Padappadi and Oragadam joint road. Four buses have been put into service and the buses will be operated for every 50 minutes.
