Summary:
Experts had been highlighting that the city would require a mix of metro rail and monorail system to make public transport popular. Corridor 4, now planned between Light House and CMBT, will be extended up to Poonamallee and will finally stretch over 26.1km with 30 stations. The 118.9km phase-2, estimated to cost Rs 69,000cr, will comprise corridors 3, 4 and 5.“We presented the traffic data to the state government and suggested that metro rail would be more suitable in these localities than monorail. Corridor 5 was also changed to include CMBT and Kaliamman Koil Street that were removed from corridor 4. Officials said the line between Light House and Meenakshi College in Kodambakkam will be underground, as it links the city core..
