MRTS services in Chennai remain disrupted due to infrastructure

thehindu.com

Southern Railway has announced that cross-sectoral services on the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) will not resume due to infrastructure issues. MRTS stations between Chintadripet and Thirumayilai cannot accommodate the standard 12-car trains. Previously, MRTS services connected Velachery to various northern and western sectors. However, after truncating services for a new railway line, commuters now face longer travel times and limited options. The lack of platform extensions has frustrated commuters, especially those traveling to software hubs. Additionally, a shortage of drivers and trains further complicates the situation, impacting the efficiency of Chennai's suburban rail network.
