CMDA gets nod for 2 satellite bus terminals

The Tamil Nadu Government has approved the CMDA's (Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority) proposal to develop 2 satellite inter city bus terminals at a total cost of Rs. 80 crore.

The one terminal will be at a cost of Rs. 48 crore in Velachery, a southern suburb, on a 12-acre vacant site available near the Velachery Rapid Transit System station and will be part of the bus interchange to the Mass Rapid Transit System. Some of the bus services operated through the East Coast Road and the Old Mahabalipuram Road will be shifted here.

The other  facility is to come up to the North Chennai at the Madhavaram Bus and Truck Terminal on an 8 acre vacant site, by shifting some of the bus services operated through the GNT (Grand Northern Trunk) Road.

These satellite bus terminals will supplement the CMBT (Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus) at Koyambedu. As was done for this terminus, the 2 satellite facilities will be funded through the Infrastructure and Amenities Charges.

According to the order by the Housing and Urban Development Department, the Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Financial Services Ltd will be consultants for the feasibility report to be commissioned by the CMDA.
