Summary:
Chennai Metro Rail Limited CMRL ) is planning to build an intermodal urban square under the cloverleaf loops of Kathipara with several facilities, including bus stops and a parking lot. Commuters can alight from a bus or park vehicle at the Kathipara flyover and walk a few metres into the Alandur metro station to hop on to a metro train. The square is also expected to provide last mile connectivity, as it will link areas up to a radius of 500 metres around the metro station through local buses. The pedestrian subway is far away from the station and is not well maintained. For MTC buses, the square will provide a turn facility where those that end their trip at the Guindy Industrial Estate or those heading towards CMBT can turn, pick or drop off passengers..
