B Anbuselvan ByExpress News ServiceCHENNAI: Over 350 MTC buses plying to Broadway through the EVR Periyar Salai will now stop about 150 metres away from the main building of the Central station. On Saturday, on a trial basis Chennai traffic police asked MTC buses to stop at the new stop and routed them towards Southern Railway headquarters on EVR Periyar Salai without allowing them to enter Central station. Vehicular movement gets slowed down on EVR Periyar Salai during office hours mainly due to congestion at Central station, say traffic police. They say the decision was taken with an objective to decongest areas around Central station. Accordingly, the decision to bypass Central station bus stop also will be finalized,” said K Ganesan, Managing director of MTC..
