Chief Minister M.K. Stalin flagged off twelve feeder mini-buses designed to improve last-mile connectivity for passengers traveling via the Chennai Metro Rail network. The dedicated mini-bus service aims to bridge the transportation gap between metro stations and adjacent residential neighborhoods, enabling daily commuters to transition smoothly from rapid rail to road transit without relying on expensive private transport options.

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Stalin emphasized that enhancing public transportation accessibility is central to decongesting urban thoroughfares and reducing vehicular emissions across Chennai. He announced that the feeder service model will be progressively expanded to encompass all operational Chennai Metro stations, ensuring equitable public transit access across varied residential and commercial suburbs.

The initiative illustrates the government focus on multimodal transport integration. By synchronizing suburban bus operations with metro schedules, the administration seeks to encourage greater public bus and train ridership among office workers, students, and senior citizens. Stalin noted that responsive urban planning must prioritize passenger convenience, affordability, and seamless connectivity. This transport expansion marks another practical measure in building a modern, commuter-friendly transit network across the metropolitan area.
