To control the public transportation constraints in and around the city, a secondary bus terminus has been planned to be established in Kilambakkam at Urapakkam which will handle the southbound Long-distance buses. This terminus will be twice the size of CMBT as it would ease the pressure on the Koyambedu facility. Recently Deputy Chief Minister O.Panneerselvam who is also the Housing Minister conducted an inspection in the site.
Vandalur is called the “Entrance Gateway of Beautiful Chennai City” which is just a kilometer away from Urapakkam has the easy accessibility to GST road, Outer Ring Road (ORR), Inner Ring Road (IRR), OMR and ECR. Increasing demand for transportation and kindling demand of housing in this locality has enforced the government to construct a secondary bus terminus. This terminus is said to be twice the size of CMBT whopping an area of about 88.52-acres land. It is said that the accurate project report will be completed in 2 months and the construction would be completed in a duration of about 2 years stated Mr.O.Pannerselvam.
As stated by CMDA officials the bus terminus near Vandalur would shelter 250 buses on a daily basis and also about 300 spare buses can be parked inside the terminus. The terminus is said to have escalators to help the differently-abled and senior passengers stated an official. Due to the establishment of the secondary bus terminus, there is a huge demand for housing in and around the preferred location. New bus terminus would also accommodate 275 cars and 3582 two-wheelers apart from housing a police station and also a water purification center among other facilities.
CMDA is expected to obtain no objection certificate (NOC) from Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to construct the bus stand. “We have applied for the NOC. Since norms allow the construction activity near the particular archaeological site, the NOC will be given, hopefully,” the CMDA official said. An objection from ASI has been one of the roadblocks impeding the Kilambakkam bus stand, apart from anomalies in land acquisition.
